Ten-Tec's Orion had exactly the same setup (HI/LO CUT and SHIFT/WIDTH) over
4 years before the K3 was introduced, but I don't think Ten-Tec was the
first with this idea.  In fact my ~30 year old TS-930S had something very
similar (HI/LO CUT and VBT for CW...but no SHIFT).  Nothing wrong with
duplicating a good idea it's definitely not unique to the K3.
