A three-level button function including 'Long hold' is not user-friendly. 'Long hold' is sloooow (by definition!) which means that one group of users is sure to get a raw deal. Also, inexperienced users can easily get lost in the deeper levels. 'Choose two out of three for Tap and Hold' is far more user-friendly. As I already said, anyone who regularly uses XFIL could simply stay with the default. G3XDY has also identified a serious problem about the XFIL button when attempting to turn the APF off. With the bandwidth already cranked down to your narrowest CW filter, hear what happens if you don't hold the XFIL/APF button for long enough. A fraction of a second's error blows the bandwidth wide open! When you're wearing headphones and listening really hard for a weak signal, that blast of noise is extremely unpleasant. And the point is: it's fixable. -- 73 from Ian GM3SEK http://www.ifwtech.co.uk/g3sek ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
