[Elecraft] My biggest ergonomic issue (K2 DSP)

[Vic Rosenthal]

OK, I just finished operating 37 hours in a 48-hour CW contest this 
weekend and before I hit the sack, here is what I learned:

1) The DSP does a GREAT job of making super-weak CW signals readable, 
but it requires a very narrow b/w (50 or 100 Hz) to do this.  I made 
QSOs I would not have made without it.  I do not find the wider 
positions useful; the xtal filter is fine for wider bandwidths.

2) Having to HOLD the filter button 3 times to change from lowpass to 50 
Hz drives me NUTS!  And the *&@# button bounces sometimes and changes 
the xtal filter setting.  I though of making the first filter the narrow 
one, but then I'd still have to hold the button 3 time the next time.

I want to be able to just turn the high selectivity on and off.  Don't 
tell me to use a rig-control program, because I need my contest logging 
program running.  For what it's worth I used the NR the whole time and 
it was a big help.  I'm going to take a nap now.
