In the really humongous CW pileups, it's very hard to find the station that the 
DX is working when you are using a narrow bandwidth and slow tuning rate -- and 
of course these are what you need to hear the weak DX station.  Even the N4PY 
software (which I have and like) doesn't really switch fast enough if the DX 
station is working quickly at high speed.

I've suggested to Elecraft that they make it possible to select bandwidths and 
tuning rate per-VFO.  Maybe they will do it.
