      I have an earlier set of boards.  Even with the mods, I still had a 
little noise in places.  Not all of the upper bands, but some of them. 
Setting RX SHIFT=8.0 on the 1-2 bands still affected cleared it up. 
There's rarely a need for the hardware filters up there, and it's easy 
enough to flip 'em back on when needed.

Wayne,

      Any chance of disabling the lock protocol when RX SHIFT is assigned 
to a programmable function key?  There are times when I'd really like to 
be able to toggle it on and off with the push of a button.
