Why go halfway? I would go with the 1.8 as a roofing filter. Crank the
DSP down to 1.6 and slew the passband to get the best readability.

David,
I'm looking to upgrade my filters for SSB. I have the 2.8 filter
installed, which has steeper skirts than the 2.7. I'm wondering if the
2.1 would have a noticeable enough effect to justify the cost.

Been interesting reading the comments on SSB contesting and
filtering. As a serious SSB contester from way back in the 80s, side
rejection from other contesters (especially where we are all bunched
up on 40 meters and also when the shortwave broadcast stations come
on) has always been a topic of conversation with my fellow ssb ops --
which radio to buy, which filter to use, dsp, etc.
I have the 2.1 khz, 8 pole roofing filter installed in by my K3s BTW.
With that said, I think the bleeding over QRM from other ssb stations
(especially on 40 meters) is just the “nature of the beast” with ssb
contesting. And boy is it a killer on the ears during and after a
contest
Anxious to hear other comments from other.
