The benefit of APF is not selectivity to seperate signals at all. its the boost of a signal in the noise level that brings it up out of the noise by peaking a particular audio freq. It is used to make copy of a signal that is in the noise possible that is otherwise not possible to copy.
Also not all FT-1000D were created equal, early models were great, middle and later models were not effective at all, so its all on which one you tried at the time. Many operators converted the newer models to the old circuit by changing a few component values.
