[Elecraft] APF suggestion

[The Smiths]

I'm still running Alpha software and my notch does work with the APF on.. so I'm not sure if it doesn't in the 4.18 release software.  But I still wouldn't want to loose the option for it to work if I had to go into the menu to select between the two tools.  
The DSP CAN'T run the Dual PF and the APF at the same time, therefore using that Dual PB button was the best answer to the problem of where to put it.  However, like I said, since people are having toggle issues with hitting the XFIL on accident instead of HOLDING Dual PB, I figured that it would be best to just put it there instead. The N/A reminder would tell people when they need to turn one or the other off...
