Hi Dave:

If I recall, you can ARRANGE the order of the filters any way you wish. 
However, you may not 'back up'... you must still step thru all of them to 
get back to the previously-selected one. Of course, if you used only two 
bandwidths, you could  merely program FL1 & FL3 to the same B/W and FL2 & 
FL4 to the same B/W, then you really COULD jump between the two B/Ws with a 
single press of the button.

You can also disable one (or more) of the filters, so you select to have 2, 
3, or 4 B/Ws available.

I, too develop 'fat fingers' at times. Fortunately, I've since learned 
(pretty well) to stay away from the POWER pot. And... generally, merely 
'bumping' it only changes it a couple 1/10ths of a watt, so it's been no 
big problem for me.

Have fun,
