The passband shape is that of an inverted "V" with a sharp tip. While this can be remarkably useless for tuning around, the regular passband shapes being better for that, once a real weakie is discovered, tuning the APF to it creates an immediate signal to noise improvement. It is so narrow though that one can tune past a weak signal and not hear it.
