One man's simple answer is ... well .. simple.
Keep the 2.7KHz 5-p filter. You will find that the DSP provides
mighty fine ultimate rejection. In this configuration, the 2.7 filter
provides quite adequate protection from strong in-band signals.
If you're a contester, buy one or both of the 1.8 KHz or 2.1 KHz 8-p
filters for extra protection. I know I will. Just not sure when.
Operating and learning the radio is keeping me too busy for this to be
a priority.
Right now I only have the basic 2.7KHz 5-p and 250Hz 8-p filters. This
might be termed "a basic SSB and a somewhat picky CW" op's choice. It
has worked quite well as a combo, so far.
Now - if you find yourself freqently or often in the presence of S9+60
filled-with-splatter signals, nothing will help and you'd be better
off switching bands. Nothing can help with that. I just came across
that with an OT last night, only 1/2 mile from here. Runs a KW to
talk across the state. Go figure.
