Ok, I've recorded several sets of filter settings for different
sidetone/offsets, so now I can change them in about a minute. Doing
this shouldn't be a problem for the rig, right?

If you wanted to you could put one set of filters in the CW Normal
slots and another set in the CW Rev slots. I suppose for the CW Rev
filters you could put the BFO on the 'wrong' side of center and you
would then have two sets of filters, two different sidetone/offsets,
both CW Norm, right? Not sure I'd really want to do that; just
wondering.
