I do this all the time and find it convenient. KISS principle works for me.

I do not understand how assigning APF to a PF button makes things any
easier. From what I have seen in the comments, the "problem" is that it
is a button Hold problem. PF1 and PF2 are button hold functions - why
not just hold the Dual PB button and use it "as-is"? Some of the "cures"

I support Ian's suggested option. My previous question about using a
programmable function is (I now realise) useless (as is using a macro)
because they all need a "hold" on a button, and we've already got that!

I find APF very useful for VHF/UHF work too, and the need to hold the
button a problem. How about making it possible to switch the APF on and
off through a programmable function button - is that an option?

Just wondering if there are others who would prefer that the APF state
NOT be remembered by the WIDTH I/II preset? For some reason that has
always rankled me a bit. Would prefer to have APF changed only by
means of the DUAL PB button.

It is not fixable to your definition without changing both the front
panel (engraving) and keytops (legend). Moving XFIL to HOLD would
be extremely inconvenient for users of that function (it is very
difficult to do multiple HOLD gestures) and the current assig

On the K3, it would be really helpful to have an option to reconfigure
that button on the K3 as "tap = APF
Both the K3 and KX3 have an APF control (audio peaking filter). APF
can be extremely effective when you're trying to copy weak CW signals
buried in noise.
Most DSP filters have very steep skirts; they're often referred to as
"brick-wall" filters for this reason. This is the type of filtering
