Toss in the manual notch filter as well to take out a few more Hz or that
strong near by station. Also, the IF shift can be a great help in some rigs to
employ.

Well, another problem with PSK is that many PSK users are not avid
DXers, just rag-chewers, and they don't know how to make a QSO in a
pile-up. They will at least give the DXpedition their name & QTH, and
sometimes continue with equipment, license year and other macros !
Otherwise, a PSK pile-up nicely spread must give better chance to QRPs
than a RTTY one where only the strong can survive. Even better (faster)
in PSK63.
Here, i sometimes "wide-receive" the PSK frequency in order to see who's
on the air, but as soon as i know who i'm gonna talk to, i center his
signal in the passband (Winwarbler does it for me) then put the 250Hz
narrow filter (narrowest available in my 950).
