Interesting idea, though I don't think it would be that easier to use than pressing 'seek' repeadedly.
However, I don't remember whether the tuner has another feature: to populate its presets (probably just one bank, say C) with strongest local stations. Many car radios have it, and I find it very usefull when finding myself in another city for several days (as I often do).
