FWIW, I would also like that feature.  

Would also like being able to adjust the pitch of a received signal
for optimal copy without moving it in the passband. (You can do this
indirectly with PITCH, except you can't listen to the actual signal
while you are adjusting it; only the sidetone. Even if you turn MON to
zero, there are still no signals audible while PITCH is engaged.)
