[Elecraft] K3 Band Edge Marker Option (was Out of Band Xmit)

But human beings WILL make mistakes, especially in contests or at
special-event stations where there are too many other things happening
and people are tired; and so they lose concentration. 

And regardless of how perfect you yourself may be, if you are trustee of
a multi-op or club station you are also responsible for other people's
mistakes on the air. Personally and <legally> responsible.

So we all agree that band edge transgressions are important; they are
simple to avoid but they also need continual watchfulness. Well, isn't
that EXACTLY the kind of monitoring task that computers do best? 

Regrettably, this is yet another area where the K3 remains unfinished
compared with the competition. Other manufacturers have seen the risks
of human error and done something to help avoid it; but the K3 will let
you fail.
