That makes the 15KHz filter a sweet option.  I bought mine slightly used and it 
came with the 6 & 15 KHz filters.  I was going to swap the 15 for a 600 Hz 
filter but I don't feel like I need the 600 Hz yet.  If I get more serious 
about chasing DX on CW then I may need to do the swap.  In the meantime SWLing 
with the 15 KHz filter and bandwidth set at about 10... makes the big shortwave 
broadcast stations that are left sound very nice.
