Good news for those of you using the "IC781" radio interface and are
having this problem. Version 6.61 will store the filter setting that
it gets whenever it gets the radio frequency and send the same filter
setting out when it tries to set frequencies. I don't see where the
735 class radios have this bit - so hopefully, this isn't a problem
for them with the current version.
