I know where you come from, I was a bit up-set when I bought my TS 870 and
the widest the passband for CW is 1000hz, I had a hard time getting use to
that tite passband.
The Rx I used as a novice , I tuned the total 80 M novice band with the BFO
knob.

Thats funny but true!
90% of my ham lifetime was with an old Drake TR-4, no CW filter, so was
always listening at like 3Kc wide. when I first sat down at a field day
station with a 500 or 250 filter set i felt like I was in a tunnel and
can't hear anything, I was able to switch it to a wider filter and run
great, the owner thought i was nuts how can you hear with all those
signals in the passband. I would say what other signals?
