APF Ergonomics

[Chuck Guenther]

You certainly can do that.  All you have to do is write a macro containing
the command "SWH29;" and assign this macro to one of the programmable keys,
M1-M4 or PF1 or PF2. You can just use a single command in a macro if that's
all you want.

Sometimes I'll assign a macro to both the tap and hold function of a memory
M1-M4 so as to avoid the chance of getting the wrong one in the heat of a DX
pileup.

like this set up.  Maybe a "slight" firmware change would allow each
user to define which function is "tap" and which is "hold"."

I always have the contest program "WriteLog" open when I'm using my K3. (I use it for contests and general logging). In WriteLog I set up the multiply key on my PC keyboard to toggle the APF. Press once to turn it on. Press again to turn it off. I don't think I've ever used the XFIL button for APF. And I definitely never used the XFIL button to change filters. I prefer to use the excellent WIDTH knob.
