[Elecraft] K3: Band edge beep?

[Frank Ross W4NHJ]

Seems to me that band edge beeps would be fairly easy to implement.  The K3 
will not transmit out of band so it knows where band edges are already, just 
add a beep when you cross the edge and a software switch to turn the feature 
off, if you don't want it.  User programmable beeps could also be 
implemented using the K3 utility.
