This is an interesting suggestion.  It *may* be possible to change th code
so the KDSP2 displays the clock if it was the "active" display mode when a
mode or filter change occurred.  I will put it on the list to investigate,
but I make no promises :-)

As you say, this will require a change in the firmware of the control MCU in
the K2 itself.  I wanted the KDSP2 to do this fromt heoutset, but
unfortunatley the informaton about the current XFIL setting is not available
on the auxbus.

Good thoughts.  I now have them filed in my KDSP2 wish list area.

Jeff, thank you for taking the time to bring these thoughts to my attention.

Now, if we could just figure out what Wayne has up his sleeve for September
6th... :-)
