(K3) APF Access Suggestion

APF works well I think and its button access is properly placed on the front panel. What would make access easier for those who think changing between APF and Dual PB on the fly is necessary, would be to make the Config Menu remember its last setting after a power cycle.

One could then leave Dual PB to be the first config menu item seen when returning to the radio after powering down. Changing from NOR to APF is fast. Now one has to scroll through all the items searching for Dual PB (or any other desired entry). This is neither quick or easy.

My TS-480 has this feature of a "sticky" menu and it is quite convenient.

Re: (K3) APF Access Suggestion

Just info how I am using APF on/off:
I am not using XFIL/DUAL PB button for APF activation/deactivation
during standard operation.
I have pre-set NORM I as 400Hz roofing w/o APF and NORM II as 1khz
roofing with APF.
So only switching between NORM I/II activate/deactivate APF, then I
can change width with WIDHT knob if needed etc.
If there is serious need for switching between DUAL PB/APF it is
possible as described (going to CONFIG:)or by some macro on PF1 or PF2
buttons or later by firmware by some hold/long hold of XFIL button.

For now I am happy with this setting but YMMV as used to say ;-)

Thanks for this option, it is really great tool for my 160m RX!

Re: (K3) APF Access Suggestion

And this will also even work when config DUAL BP is switched to normal. You will have APF on/off on I/II and Dual BP on Long Press of XFIL. That's how I use APF.
