even hear me? (hi)
I run contests with 100 Hz filtering, but I don't run it like that in daily
work.
Again, the world we live in allows and has thousands of hams without this
expensive technology.
Everyone is free to do what they like and there is no right or wrong way,
but in the case sited, he appeared to be scolding the QSO partner for not
being able to adjust his radio properly . . . probably before he even knew
what kind of radio the other guy had.

Another issue is that it's more likely that guys are running dsp brick wall
narrow filtering today than in years past and they might need you to be on
their frequency to hear you.
