I got one of those brain things too, but by day 2 of a contest it needs 
all the help it can get.

It would be really helpful to have user-configurable frequency points 
where the rig will emit a warning beep as the operator tunes through. 
Nothing else, just a discreet warning.

For example, I can always use a reminder when crossing the edges of the 
beacon bands. Another use would be to program a beep at the frequency 
limits that might be written into the rules of a particular contest.

Since other people might have different frequencies of interest, or 
might not want the facility at all, it would need to be 
user-configurable.

Configuration could be as simple as:
1. Set menu item
2. Tune to a frequency
3. Press something to toggle beep on/off.

Obviously not urgent, but maybe worth considering for the longer term.
