They seldom touch the transceivers - very
occasionally adjust the RIT and very seldom reduce
the filter width, only because there is some adjacent
and temporary QRM.
I think the key here is the filtering they get from the 200+ per hour
pileup. With all those stations calling them, it is less likely that
someone will settle in on an adjacent frequency, or if someone is
there, it is more likely to drive them away.
QRM-fighting features like IF Shift are more likely to be used on the
other end of the pileup -- to try and hear the responding station
from amoung all the callers. It's more powerful a tool when S & Ping
during a contest, or when DXing.
IF shift seems like a feature that could be accomplished with a
"simple" firmware change. Perhaps its a possibility for a future
upgrade.
Of course, Elecraft has those pesky amplifiers they'd like to ship
first....
