Hi Geoff!
This would be nice, and I presume that you mean that the knob would
maintain the location of the BFO in relation to the passband along with
the sidetone pitch. Currently it's possible to adjust the pitch from
the menu (although this is not a one-knob operation!), but in order to
keep the selected pitch inside a narrow passband, you need to do the CAL
FIL procedure.
So the knob that you refer to would have to cause the microprocessor to
recalculate the VCO offset that is used to place the selected pitch at a
given location in the filter passband. This is what happens when you
run CAL FIL.
I don't think the knob (which I too would like to have) is practical
given the K2's architecture.
