The only time I really needed the 500hz filter in cascade with the 500hz
or 250hz filter in the 2nd IF was during the 160m cw contest. Stations
running 1KW+++ with huge arrays all crammed into a narrow band results in
the ultimate test for a receiver and even with all of that filtering it
was still rather noisey. I did manage to come in 2nd for KY so the
filters did help.

For the buck....Well I already had the TT filters so that's an easy one.
I'm sure those who purchased Inrads think they are better.

When you hit the extra filter button, they are cascaded automatically. I
don't really like listening to cw through the extra filter unless
absoultely necessary.

If it gets really rough, take off the covers and call TT for guidance.
