I use an ICOM IC746 and just love the radio. However, when setting up the
filters menus, under SSB, there is no option to select the 500Hz filters,
even though I have two of them installed. Under CW and RTTY, no problem.
Running PSK on SSB, it's a problem. If somebody alot smarter than me can
figure this one out, I for one would greatly appreciate the effort.
