A strange heading for a debate about which way to turn a knob HI!
For reasons I don't understand, it's my instinct to turn the width knob
clockwise to narrow the filter.
Perhaps as I want more narrowing my instinct tells me that clockwise = more,

John,
No matter what 'system' a particular person uses, he will get used to it.

Yes, Don, I agree completely. Forget about the labels entirely and
just learn them by key position. However, I went with a vertical
scheme vs your horizontal one...
The first keypad column (1,4,7) is 160, 80, 40. Second column is 20
to 6 (6m stands apart way down there on the zero key); third
The only reason I mention the labels is because it seems lately if you

Why not sit down in front of the options that you're interested in and
form an opinion of your own rather than go by someone else? Each
persons operating style is different and if you don't operate the same
way this guy does perhaps a rig that he just offloaded is the perfect
