GD77 Dual Scan

Love the project and what has been achieved.
When I travel all over Australia, I try to put in all the repeaters I pass, but often it is hard to be sure you have them all until you are there.
I often put the radio on scan, and scan the band, or the part of the band where the repeaters are. But I can only do 2m or 70cm at once. I must pull over and set it up for the other band if I want to check the other band which waste travel time.
Given the GD77 is a dual band radio, it would be great if I could program a scan to scan the 2m repeaters, then scan the 70cm ones, before returning back to 2m. It could just tick away by itself. The only other way is to have two radios.
Just an idea.
