True, the Es openings on 6 come and go very quickly.
But you would need to visually check the bandscope screen every minute 
or so.
I used to have a ProII.

Today I use the frequency or memory scanning function of my 6mtr rig.
You can do other things besides sitting on front of your rig, waiting 
endlessly  .... :)

I like memory scanning the best:
- each 500Hz from 50087 till 50110
- each 2500Hz from 50110 till 50190 (YMMV)
By this method I hardly miss anything; I worked 57 ctys this year only, 
using a 5el and 100W. Sometimes only 12W from the K2+XV50.
