It's actually pretty simple and stated clearly on the web site:
"All-new suite of ORION II-specific roofing filters is arranged in one,
single bank to allow user to select the absolute ideal roofing filter for
mode, band conditions, and personal preference. The narrow (600 and 300 Hz)
filters are now located in the same initial bank with all the rest. This new
arrangement yields subtle improvement in dynamic range and the new filters
have less passband ripple than any we've ever offered. ORION II comes
standard with 20, 6, 2.4, and 1 kHz installed. Optional filters are 1.8 kHz
(model 2000), 600 Hz (model 2001), 300 Hz (model 2002). That's not all - the
optional filters cost less than before!"
As you can see, the O2 has the same standard 4 bandwidths as the original O,
and the optional SSB filter is the same bandwidth, but the two optional CW
filters have different bandwidths.
More important, ALL O2 filters are completely different than the filters
Ten-Tec has used in the past in ALL rigs and they ARE NOT INTERCHANGABLE!

Subject: [TenTec] Orion II plug in filters
I'm confused about the Orion II filters. Are the standard filters plugable?
How many plug in slots are there total? Only 3 for the optional ones? What
will fit in the slots? Can any of the traditional size (Omni) filters be
used
anywhere in the Orion II?
Is there a picture somewhere that will clarify?
