Me too. And thanks for asking, Wayne.

I agree with this opinion, I would like a programmable fixed
setting. Having transitioned from another brand of radio that had
three filter presets, I thought I would miss them in the K3. I liked
the idea of cycling through three different filters to find which one
suited the conditions at the time. But as I used the K3 more and
more, I found that I wasn't switching from I to II at all. I learned
that I could dynamically manipulate the filter with the width control
(or hi/lo cut) to my liking. But I would get "lost" occasionally and
having a preset "home" is a good idea. You can use the NORM setting,
but that is factory preset. Having the user adjust the NORM setting
would be a good idea. Switching quickly back and forth between two
filters is also a desired function, but the delay in the "push and
hold" activation of I and II seems too long to make that function
useful in a quickly changing environment.
