Precisely my point.  I find that the Mark V's 250hz and 500hz filters 
are most useful for digital.  For the reason you give: the filter 
prevents AGC desensitization of a weak signal you are trying to copy by 
a nearby stronger signal.  So, to answer your question, the mechanical 
filters are most valuable.
