K1JT is correct as it relates to EME where one does not generally have
strong interfering signals. Remember the detection bandwidth in WSJT-X
is on the order of a few Hertz - not the 2.8 to 5 KHz audio bandwidth
that would be the case with human decoding of CW or SSB.
Note that K1JT also recommends operating without AGC if possible.
However, when we get to HF with its mixture of weak and strong signals,
narrow filters are sometimes necessary in order to prevent blocking
(AGC and/or ADC overload).

very strong signals reducing the bandwidth can prevent the DSP chain from

Joe is well aware of the issue. Hiss answer that the phase distortion
issue trumps S/N ratio. You may want to study what he has had to say on
the issue. Joe reads the WSJT list.
