Subject: [Elecraft] How to display your current K2 XFIL selscion

Hi Mike,

Push and hold the K2 XFIL and AGC buttons together to see your current filter
selection.

See the K2 manual, page 82.

change!"

Excellent idea!  I can't tell you how many times I've gone "around the
circuit" just to find out what filter was selected.

That would be my biggest concern with the idea. It *is* clumsy to press two
buttons to view the current filter, but I think it would be far clumsier to
have to press twice or press and hold three times in a row to get 'back' to
the filter I want.

I am usually more concerned with how the signal sounds in the filter than
the particular bandwidth, so I push the button and cycle through different
settings. I'd hate to see *that* become a slower process.

My guess is that I'd find having to press twice or press-and-hold more
painful that occasionally pressing two buttons to see which filter I'm
using.
