We just added per-band SPAN settings to the PX3 (and will later add it to the P3). We're also adding a menu setting to quantize the SPAN selections to 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 kHz. This behavior would be user-selectable; the default would be continuously variable, as it is at present.
For a lot of P3/PX3 users, the combination of these two changes will result in less manipulation of the SPAN control, and will save some Fn switches for other uses.
