    Hi, Vic:

    Just to be clear, my observation was neither a complaint nor a request 
for a change.  I've already grown used to the way the radio works in respect 
to adjusting filter width.  I was more interested in speculating (out loud) 
as to why many of us are so instintively inclined to want to turn the 
control in a direction that, on this radio, is the wrong way.  What in our 
individual backgrounds has conditioned some of our brains to want us to take 
a knob and turn it in the up/louder/bigger direction expecting a 
small/narrower result?

    Now back to watching the Simpsons.

    Gary, VE1RGB
