[Elecraft] My K2 firmware wish list item

[A. Hansen]

I sent an email message to the reflector on 9/2/02, but received 
the following error message.

     - Email Message Error - [from postmater@net66.com]
          
     ********** Sorry, the message could not be delivered **********
            
     USER IS OVER THE QUOTA - The users email quota has exceeded. The 
     message could not be delivered. Please try again later. 

No one commented on the message so I assume it received no distribution. 
However, the message did get added to the Elecraft reflector archive. 
Go figure. Anyway, here is the original message with a few minor mods 
(but no toroids):

Since we're making our K2 firmware wishes known, here's mine:

One of the minor irritations of the K2 calibration procedure 
occurs when one recalibrates the filter BFO values. Even when 
no change is needed for a given filter, it is still necessary
to change the value a little then set it back to the previous 
value to force a [recalculation and] save operation. 

Why not simply mark the BFO frequency as "changed" even if no 
adjustment has been made. That way, when moving to a different 
mode or filter selection, the value will be saved whether the user 
made an adjustment or not. Saving an unchanged value does no harm 
[other than a short delay].

Beyond this approach to saving single BFO entries, would it be 
possible to have a global flag [or option] that says, in effect, upon 
exit from the CAL FIL operation "[calculate and] save all filter BFO values" 
regardless of whether any changes have been made? Then we could simply enter 
CAL FIL and immediately exit, updating all values at once.
