K2 Filters

[Joe-aa4nn]

I wish there was a K2 button you could push to see what filter is active.  As it is, any filter button you push advances to the next filter so you are left with the knowledge of the filter you had been using, so you push the button three more times to get back to where you were when you wanted to know where you were in the first place.  k2 is a great radio, tho, I love it.

73, Joe, aa4nn

Joe, push XFIL and AGC at the same time and you'll see what you want to
know.

Push AGC and XFIL together.

Exactly!  The trick, however is the 'together' part.  I'm with Joe on this one - we could use a single button to show the filter selected.

Don't think of it as pushing two buttons together. Put your finger between
the buttons, and push it as one. It's easy (for us southpaws, anyhow).

Not me. I just wish the K2 displayed the selected filter all the
time... Of course, that would require more display room.

There is!

Put your finger between XFIL and AGC and press the "phantom" button. The filter setting displays without changing anything. I use it all the time.

The book will say to press both buttons at the same time. That's hard to do. Just press between them instead. I know it's a nit, but "a mind is a terrible thing."

There IS a button... err... well a 'buttons'... briefly press both [AGC]
and [XFIL] at the same time to see the currently active Xtal Filter.

Availability is dependent upon firmware rev, but was implemented quite a
while back, so most K2's should offer it.

Tom
