You said: "In addition, when the DSP IF filters are set to about the same width as the roofing filters, the two filters "cascade" -- the rejection of adjacent signals is the sum of the rejection of the two filters. "

There is no requirement that the widths be about the same. They could be widely different.  If one passes an interfering signal with no attenuation and the other has 100 dB rejection then the sum is 0 + 100 = 100.  Either could be first in the lineup.

If the K3 second mixer was stronger, hardware AGC might not be necessary and the only need for a "roofing" filter would be to eliminate the image.  A single 10-12 kHz filter would suffice and DSP would be the final filter. Sounds like a K4HD doesn't it?

Until you get down to the noise floor isn't it always the sum (in dB) of the rejection?

Isn't that what I said? Perhaps I said it badly.
