Yes it has that option.  But you never want it to go
back to 144.39, because then the map which had
been showing only the APRS users tht you heard via
satellites would get fully saturated by hundreds of
local users in minutes.  I like the map and lists to 
only keep people heard via satellite.

I also tried sending it to 52 after each pass, but
then there are sometimes rag-chewers on that
channel and that was distracting.  But yes, it
can go back to whatever channel you want after
1 minute or so I think.
