I think also if the sub-receive had a more accurate s-meter other than the
bargraph that the AM broadcast signals could tuned in a lot better. I use
the Inrad #762 600hz filter along with the TT 250HZ filter and find them to
be quite useful for cw. I have done A/B tests turning on and off the
filters in the presence of stronger signals off to the side and there is a
considerable improvement in blocking adjacent sigs. Depends on how you are
going to be operating. Toby W4CAK
