I did not at first appreciate what Scott was asking, but now do. It 
also is relevant to the K2. There is no way to see, by just looking 
at the display, what filter bandwidth you are currently using - you 
have to press the XFIL button repeatedly to do this, cycling round 
all four to get back to where you were. Not really a problem here as 
I leave it permanently in my FL3 400Hz position. Have occasionally 
got caught out after that odd occasion when I moved it to the 200Hz 
filter and forgot I had done so. I know that some of you like rather 
wider filters on CW than I do.

Perhaps a single push of the XFIL button could cause a momentary 
display of the current filter, with a second push required before it 
actually changed the setting?
