An FYI:

It turns out that you can specify multiple scan-lists (and/or channel 
names) in the "/interface wireless set wlan1-gateway scan-list=..." 
command (but apparently not in the individual channel declarations).  
So, here's what I use:

/interface wireless
channels remove [find]
channels add band=5ghz-onlyn width=5  frequency=5920 list=HamWAN-360-all 
name=HamWAN-360-old   comment="Sector 1/360 (300-060)"
channels add band=5ghz-onlyn width=5  frequency=5905 list=HamWAN-120-all 
name=HamWAN-120-old   comment="Sector 2/120 (060-180)"
channels add band=5ghz-onlyn width=5  frequency=5890 list=HamWAN-240-all 
name=HamWAN-240-old   comment="Sector 3/240 (180-300)"
channels add band=5ghz-onlyn width=5  frequency=5920 list=HamWAN-360-all 
name=HamWAN-360-5MHz  comment="Sector 1/360 (300-060)"
channels add band=5ghz-onlyn width=5  frequency=5900 list=HamWAN-120-all 
name=HamWAN-120-5MHz  comment="Sector 2/120 (060-180)"
channels add band=5ghz-onlyn width=5  frequency=5880 list=HamWAN-240-all 
name=HamWAN-240-5MHz  comment="Sector 3/240 (180-300)"
channels add band=5ghz-onlyn width=10 frequency=5920 list=HamWAN-360-all 
name=HamWAN-360-10MHz comment="Sector 1/360 (300-060)"
channels add band=5ghz-onlyn width=10 frequency=5900 list=HamWAN-120-all 
name=HamWAN-120-10MHz comment="Sector 2/120 (060-180)"
channels add band=5ghz-onlyn width=10 frequency=5880 list=HamWAN-240-all 
name=HamWAN-240-10MHz comment="Sector 3/240 (180-300)"
set wlan1-gateway band=5ghz-onlyn wireless-protocol=nv2 
frequency-mode=superchannel ssid=HamWAN radio-name="AE7Q/MillCreek-Paine"

To scan everything:

/interface wireless set wlan1-gateway 
scan-list=HamWAN-120-all,HamWAN-240-all,HamWAN-360-all

To scan just my sector:

/interface wireless set wlan1-gateway scan-list=HamWAN-120-all

To scan just one channel:

/interface wireless set wlan1-gateway scan-list=HamWAN-120-5MHz

Note that there is a potential "gotcha" in the naming scheme:  If, 
instead of using "HamWAN-120-all" as a list name, I used just 
"HamWAN-120" in the relevant places, I get an (unhelpful) error message 
from the "/interface wireless set wlan1-gateway scan-list=..."command.  
Apparently a list name cannot be a substring of a channel name (probably 
an incorrect use of the "strncmp" function).

I'm doing this because I have a marginal connection, and once it is 
lost, it takes some time to scan all the channels for a signal.
