P3 A/B difference mode?

[Gene Sochor]

I may  be already missing something with all the new features and
fixes in P3 firmware, and others may feel this suggestion is
downright silly, but:

Is there a way (or can there be in the future) to show on screen the
Marker B difference  in frequency from VFO A or Marker A,  both
positive or negative, instead of the the actual frequency?

While I'm pretty good at math, certain simple subtraction, it would
seem handy in a 'rare dx panic situation' not to have to figure out
what "up 3.25" kHz is in a real frequency, but to simply move Marker
B that amount after Zeroing it to Marker A, particularly when one
cannot hear or make out other calling stations.  I swear I
accidentally made that happen just once, but can't figure out how?

Any ideas? Be kind, it's not that important.

Gene,

When I am working CW split , I set the K3 in the split mode and
then move VFO (B) . At the bottom of the P3 screen You will
see a U shaped marker, My filters are both set at 150HZ .
I tune VFO (B) to a QRG in between
the calling stations , That is if there is one HI HI.
