KX3 FW bug and request

NU7B
First, the bug (FW 1.12). I use scan a lot - it has worked very well on my K2 and on the KX3 as well. But on the KX3, if I switch to a new band, hit RCL and have the condition that the RCL memory happens to be on the setting I want, then I hit RCL again - the scan function is not aware that I made a RCL selection. Workaround is to select an undesired band and then go back to the desired band during RCL. At that point, SCAN is aware that I made a RCL selection. This may seem like a nit, but often we tend to scan one band in particular, and so the RCL selection is often that band by default. It seems inelegant to need to change the memory selection just to make the MCU aware that you used the RCL function.

The feature request: we have a wonderful IF PBT that is useful for weak signals in the lower bandwidths - if the SNR is atmospheric noise-limited, the SNR goes up as the square root of the PB reduction. It would be nice if, for say 200 Hz PBW and below, the PBT would step in 20 Hz increments instead of 50 Hz. Sometimes the APF is not the right filter for the job, and the 50 Hz step seems coarse below 200 Hz.

My $0.02.
