Get the KDSP2. It has an auto-notch that is superior to any manual
notch.

Seems like this might be possible with a firmware change and maybe
another knob -- but normally BFO changes can't be made without the
frequency counter cable on a test point. So, there would have to be a
sizable table of BFO settings for each frequency step in the PBT for
each mode / filter.
I think this sorta of change is probably out of the range of your
casual K2 builder. Wayne or Eric would be the one to pull this off.
