This has smacked it on the head; DSP in the ham context has to be seen
as cheap and nasty and a sales gimmick. High Q crystal filters remain
expensive, while multi-mode, multi-bandwidth DSP can be implemented for
a few dollars at most once the software has been sorted out.
One of the great advantages of DSP is the lack of ringing in narrow
bandwidths because of near zero group delay, and reduced operator
fatique resulting from the noise reduction.
