What happened to the suggestion to select APF using the XFIL tap 
function?  I know there wasn't time to implement it in beta 4.22 but 
would hate to think it has been lost.

The CONFIG options to suit the majority of tastes would then be:

"Classic K3" = XFIL tap, DUAL PB hold

"APF lovers" = APF tap, DUAL PB hold

"Beta 4.22" = XFIL tap, APF hold.

Anyone who has tried to select APF in a hurry and suddenly found 
themselves listening in 2.7kHz will know which one they prefer!

(Please note: this discussion does not apply to anyone who is never in a 
hurry and has never made a mistake :-)
