[Elecraft] K3: Alt 1,2 and presets 1,2

[DOUGLAS ZWIEBEL]

Attention those who are actively using the new Alt 1,2 filter modes.

Maybe I am doing something wrong, but it seems to take longer to
"bring up" Alt 1, 2 (left-hand knob) compared to selecting "standard"
(last used) filter modes I, II (right-hand knob).

Since both the NORM and I, II selections are "yellow" settings, they
therefore require the same amount of HOLD time to bring up that
function.  If I using the "right hand" knob for  selecting I and II, I
simply have the initial HOLD duration time to access the
functionality.  If, however, I want to use Alt 1 and 2, I have the
same initial HOLD time lag and then I have to twist the knob
left/right to select Alt 1, 2, which (by my way of thinking and
experience), takes more time than the former approach.

When I am contesting, I want to do things as quickly as possible.
So, based on what I am doing and experiencing in the shack, I have
chosen to not use Alt 1, 2.  Also, since I really don't twiddle around
much (if at all) with presets I, II while contesting, it is far faster
to use I and II instead of Alt 1 and Alt 2.

Am I doing something wrong in how I access Alt 1 and 2?

Thanks,

PS...if the above is correct, please do NOT change how "I and II"
work.  I am glad that there are options for all of us!
