[TenTec] RX-366 Filter Width Display

I have a question about how the display behaves on the O II when the 
RX-366 is installed with 2.4 kHz, 6 kHz , and 600 Hz Hz roofing filters 
installed. Everything works as it should, but the display has a slight, 
minor bug in it.

I have performed the RAM clear and full Master Rest sequence.

Basically, whenever I have selected either LSB or LCW (the CW mode I 
prefer because of my long experience with the TS-930S) as I decrease the 
BW, I never see the to filter BW bar get narrower than the 2.4 kHz 
width. It will expand to the 6 kHz width and shrink to 2.4 kHz, but not 
to 600 Hz. The same is true if I have LSB selected. for all other modes, 
it behaves as expected. If I switch modes from either LSB or LCW while 
in the narrowest roofing filter setting, a phantom red roofing filter 
line is left where the USB/UCW filter display had been. As soon as I 
increase the BW to greater than 2.4 kHZ, the phantom red line vanishes. 
If I leave the radio in the nawrrowest setting, when I turn it on, the 
roofing filter selection displays correctly, but once I increase the RX 
bandwidth beyond 600 Hz, the roofing filter display widens (as it 
should) but never shrinks again.

The filter I have in the 600 Hz slot is really the INRAD 500 Hz roofing 
filter, in case that makes a difference.

OS is 3.033xd, DSP is 2.11b410

Has anyone else seen this?
