[Elecraft] Band edge markers

[iain macdonnell - N6ML]

I don't think it's that hard to visualise, when the bands are
relatively dead. I have found myself lazily spinning the VFO knob,
whilst watching something else (maybe reading email;), and then looked
at the rig to find myself way outside the band that I started in!
