Re: K2 Firmware Suggestion--Permitting Separate VFOFilterSettings

[Geoffrey Mackenzie-Kennedy-2]

Me too (third it)!
It would be useful as well if one could go from say FL4 straight back to FL3
(for one VFO) without having to go to FL1, then FL2 to get back to FL3 - or
am I missing something and it can be done?

Tried to post before but the 'policemen' are blocking me.

Hi Goeff,

Aside from pushing buttons on the front panel, what you suggest is
possible under software control, using HRD, N4PY, or even MixW, using
your own macros.
