While we're opening the notch topic, how about a truely narrow notch for CW-- maybe about 30Hz.?
The present one is far too wide for most CW situations. One is running stations and another station starts up too close on one side. A narrow notch could be one more tool..... Alternatively, fix the shift control to have the 10Hz steps requested by others when using narrow CW filters. 73 de Brian/K3KO Darwin, Keith wrote: >IIRC, holding the button brings up the Notch Edit mode where you get to >pick the manual freq. > >Having a user interface that is modal can be very frustrating.
