I've had an Omni V and my other rig is a K2/100. I tend to use the Pegasus
most
and on CW.
The filters at the narrow bandwidths are not steep. The 300hz filter looks
like
it has about a 3 to 1 slope. That said, the QSK on the Pegasus and the general
noise in the receiver makes it easy to listen to.
I tend to both ragchew and DX and when the band is crowded I use an external
audio filter to sharpen up the tight filters. It is an audio filter so is
still
subject to the AGC limits of the radio.
90% of the time it's a great CW rig. 5% of the time the audio filter cleans
things up. For the last 5% you will be disappointed compared to the Omni V or
better.
