I also agree with Ron that it is not an overwhelming problem to reenter the settings, but is a bit time consuming and potentially error prone. As I look at the programmers reference, it seems that reading the settings is pretty straightforward. You can just go into the normal cal/fil setup through KIO2, and send ds; to read the display. Restoring would be a bit trickier, since I don't see any way to directly send numbers. So you would have to read the current setting, then send the appropriate number of up; or dn; commands to get it to the correct value (and probably recheck to make sure you are there.) I haven't seen anyway to directly read/write the filter settings without going through the menu, but all of the menu functions are available by sending the equivalent of button presses.
It isn't a major issue; I was just surprised nobody had done it. I may play with it myself a bit but thought I would check if anyone else had tried. Thanks for the replies.
