Stupid question on the F-75 / ltd

[elusion]

I noticed my settings knob can be depressed like a button but I haven't been able to figure out what it does exactly? I looked in the manual briefly and didn't see any mention of it? Any ideas? Apologies if its a dumb question.

I never had one or used one but could that push button be what put's the ltd in the boost mode

its not really "supposed" to do anything. (Note there is no mention of it in the manual)
What it does do though is pop the Ltd (or F75 for that matter) back into the last mode you made a change in. Pretty much does the same thing as pushing the red button and releasing it. To switch the Ltd from boost to DE mode (momentarily), press and hold the red button. While pressing it, it will be operating in DE instead of BP. Note that when pressing and holding it, it will be in DE mode for audio only, (not much on the screen) unless you hold it for something like 10 or 15 seconds. Then it will start showing you ID info. I mentioned this the the powers that be (the lag between pushing the button and getting screen info), but dont think they addressed it. I find it useful for double checking targets when you are used to the DE response, but want to compare DE with BP.

What Streak said. But, as it is not mentioned in the manual, it may be becase something on the circuit board is being forced to conect or the selector knob is bottoming out and causing an unintended connection so I don't use it very often.
