Craig,
There are five discrete icons on the LCD (FL1-FL5) to remind you which
filter is selected at any given time. Generally you don't need to
remember what each one is, because they're selected automatically as
you rotate the WIDTH control. The numeric value of the width (etc.) is
also shown as the control is rotated.
If you'd like to get a quick reminder of what the actual crystal filter
bandwidth is, you could assign a tap or hold programmable switch
function to the crystal filter bandwidth menu entry (FLx BW).

I'm still a couple months away from my K3, but this kind of jumped out
at me
when I read the K3 manual. Why should I need to remember what roofing
filter I installed in each slot? Besides, the filters might be
swapped from
time to time. My personal preference would be to see the nominal
roofing
filter bandwidth displayed rather than the FL number. To me this
would be
much more convenient. Is it just me, or am a missing something?
Would be
interesting to hear from Eric/Wayne on this design decision as well as
the
preference of other users.
