[Elecraft] K-Pod question

When the K-Pod was first introduced, there was some indication that a
future enhancement would allow it to control the P3 - specifically, to
adjust the markers and 'tap to QSY'.

Is this feature available yet, or imminent?

I discovered that the P3 is pretty useful for unassisted search and pounce
in last weekend's RTTY contest - While working one station on VFO-A, I'd
move marker A up to the 'mark' tone of the next RTTY signal up the band. As
soon as the QSO was logged, a tap on the P3 knob would jump to the next
station to work.  Then move Marker A again and repeat. With a little
practice, and the SPAN set fairly narrow, I could nail the tuning every
time, provided I didn't bump the P3 knob when tapping it.

Although that worked well, it was a lot of reaching to the P3. It would be
a BIG improvement if a K-Pod, right next to the keyboard, could control
those functions.

Can it?
