You cannot move the filters around without setting them up with the utility. Technically, you CAN do this with the menu, but this is so protracted and klunky as to be a guaranteed mistake maker. It is possible to do something totally wierd with the filters using the menu system. Putting data edit functions in the firmware is a pain and uses up precious resources. Use the utility.
If you move the filters, bring up the utility and do the filter settings. Everytime. Check ALL the settings. 73, Guy.
