Robert, you don't say what you are replacing which would be helpful to compare. I came from a TS-850SAT and elected the standard filter, a 500 Hz 5 pole and a 200 Hz. I am not sure that I have ever needed the 200 Hz filter, but once it is installed you can't use a very narrow DSP filter without the 200 Hz roofer kicking in, so you can't tell what a 100 Hz DSP filter would do without it. When I want wider than 500 Hz (rarely), I am happy with the DSP filter. I am also primarily a CW operator, but probably less than 98%. Also, if you change your mind, it is easy to add filters.

I've been reading all posts concerning filters [and everything about filters]. I'm a 98% CW operator, mostly chasing DX and contesting [little pistol]. I'm looking for recommendations for (1) a "brick wall" narrow CW filter for contesting and weak signal work, and (2) something wider for casual looking around and rag chewing. What should I buy? Thanks for any and all comments. ...robert -- Robert G.
