*Joe,

Thanks for taking the time to conduct the tests.

Now that I understand what the rationale for the request to Wayne, I am of
the same mind also.

As I use the FM filter rarely I would also be able to free up a filter slot
and add an additional narrow filter which would be good for me also.

I hope Wayne will give consideration to your request in light of your
testing and implement it soon.

Thanks again Joe for the test results and the reasoning for the request.
