[Elecraft] Notch control

[Brian Alsop]

While we're opening the notch topic, how about a truely narrow notch for 
CW-- maybe about 30Hz.?

The present one is far too wide for most CW situations.   

One is running stations and another station starts up too close on one 
side.  A narrow notch could be one more tool.....

Alternatively, fix the shift control to have the 10Hz steps requested by 
others when using narrow CW filters.
