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

Elecraft; Please modify the K3 so I can set it in DX mode and go watch my
favorite TV show while it works DX or contests for me.  That way I wouldn't have
to learn or use any skills, watch the P3, turn the VFO, speak into the mic, send
CW, log contacts, upload my log to eQSL and LOTW or the contest sponsor.

After the event I would be able to have long discussions with the owners of the
other rig brands about how much smarter my K3 was that theirs.   

Could you have this completed before the next contest?  Afterall, it would just
be a firmware change, right?
