[Trlog] TR, K3, and the wrong sideband

[Ron Rossi]

Ken,

HI! Hey now help with your particular LSB/USB issue, but I can comment 
on putting a marker in the band map. If you press ctrl-ins you will get 
a marker with the format "NEWmmss"; where mm is the minute and ss is the 
second you made the mark. It is intended for putting a marker in the map 
for someone you heard and want to come back to, but did not have the 
call for.
