[Elecraft] [P3] Left Edge Function?

I'd like have function key that does what I find myself doing all the time.
Today's PT0S pileup is an example. It's a monster that extends 10-15Khz

After tuning in the DX I often find a huge pileup that I'd like to see some
detail on. To make that easier I move the DX to the left-most edge of the
P3 display using the Center function then look to see if the pileup is
overlapping the right edge. If needed I adjust the Span to see more of the
band and capture all the pileup on the display then since Span affects the
location of the DX I move the DX back to the left edge using Center again.

It would be very helpful if there was a "Left Edge" function which would
maintain the current frequency at that point and Span would work from that
location. Obviously this is a byproduct of the fact that most DX works "up"
rather than "down".

I find the use of markers on an expanded display like this very helpful to
discern the working pattern of the DX and let's me quite often "aim ahead
of the duck" when placing my call.

Any possibility for this? I've checked the owner's manual and the
programmer's manual and didn't see anyway to do this with currently
documented features.

Thanks and 73
