You can cut all of these steps down by pressing the HI CUT
/ LO CUT encoder to reset the PBT value to zero rather than the
PBT / BW encoder.

For opening and closing filters with less knob turning, I'd suggest putting
them at a higher resolution - like 50 Hz or 100 Hz steps rather than the
default 10 Hz.  10 Hz steps is about 400 Hz BW tuning with a complete
turn of the encoder knob - you can adjust the knob a small amount when
using 50 Hz steps and run the filters 800, 850, 900, etc.

It's item PBT / BW Step in the RX menu.

Pushing the RIT encoder resets RIT to zero instantly.
