I've often wondered about the pros and cons of a LPF in the PA v a BPF.  Of 
course the latter will be bigger, more expensive etc and probably for most 
amateurs to no advantage, so, it has to be an outboard unit.  It helps that 
these transceivers are amateur band only, so the rx side should have 'good' 
attenuation outside the band in use, if you are on the right side of the LPF.

Some linears have tuned L inputs which also helps.  Do the new Elecraft linears 
have BPF on their inputs?  That's a good place to put them if you are QRO, then 
you don't have to remember yet another switch.  I don't know any linear that 
does this, it would be a good selling point.
