ALT1 and ALT2 do NOT show bring up the "I"/"II" indicators when saved. Try it and see, at least they do not on my K3. ALT1 and ALT2 are different than Preset I and Preset II. If you consider that you now have 3 'initial DSP settings' (NORM, ALT1, and ALT2) to work with, and two of those you can set for yourself (NORM is glued in place by the firmware), you I believe you have the correct picture.

Preset I and Preset II have not changed - they work the same as before, the last used setting can be recalled.

Let's say you start at your ALT1 setting, and Preset II had already been selected when you choose (or save) ALT1 - the display stays with the II indication. If you then change the DSP settings, listen for a while, and then switch to PRESET I to listen for a while - when you return to PRESET II, it will be just as you had left it.

In my mind, the Presets are now a bit redundant with the introduction of ALT1 and ALT2 (remember the Norm on Steroids discussion), but they are added function, not a replacement for the Presets.

I personally find the Presets a bit confusing to use (I could not remember where they were last set because they changed all the time), so I prefer using ALT1, ALT2 and NORM - at least they provide starting points that I can adjust away from as I operate - it matches my thinking more clearly, but YMMV.

Now if we could convince K3 to just swap this function to I/II and vice

The new NORM values ALT1 and ALT2 do not show up as I or II on the display

Yes, yes, yes! I support this suggestion!

And please make the K3 remember filter choice and width settings when
swapping between bands. Now it sometimes forget the settings for a
particular band when returning from another band.
