[Elecraft] Pileup "markers" [ was Re: Band edge markers]

[drewko]

Well, we already have a K3 scanner but it is not much use for tuning
through a pileup. 

I think manual control of the VFO knob is required when looking
through a pileup; it would just be useful to not have to bother
looking at the frequency display all the time and keep reversing
tuning direction of the VFO knob. Especially for those who do the REV
button one-handed pileup navigating without benefit of sub-receiver or
P3.
