Receiver Frequency-Memory Structure

Most SW receivers offer the ability to store frequencies for later
recall. The number of frequency-memory locations provided varies
widely among receivers. The Sony ICF-2010 permits the storage of 32
frequencies in a 4 X 8 matrix of direct access buttons. The Drake R8B
provides 1000 memories arranged in ten lists with ten blocks of ten
channels (frequencies) numbered 000 thru 999. Other receivers vary in
the number they provide, with computer-controlled receivers
potentially providing more frequency-memory presets than there are
stations broadcasting.

The question arises, how to organize the station presets logically.

The AORs have variable bank size and several 3rd party applications
for organizing memories. Not sure I'd want to do it long-hand.
