The problem IMHO with having a receiver hop channels to watch or "follow the 
MUF", is that while it is doing this the receiver is not available for 
normal use. If a panadapter with lots of markers (a form of stored memories) 
is available, then there is no need to have the receiver hop channels. What 
is then required is some form of selective "alert" arrangement which sounds 
off should a signal appear at one or more of the marked frequencies.

This is not a new idea.
