Everyone seems to have their own opinion about this, but I agree with
you, Barry. I vary the receive bandwidth to compensate for changes in
QRM and QRN , as well as to accommodate and enhance the frequency
response characteristics of the station I am trying to copy. It's
amazing how sometimes a small tweak can have a huge impact on
intelligibility. Having this flexibility reduces listening fatigue for
me, whether it's a rag chew, contest or weak signal DX situation.

I want the receiver to act as a faithful transducer with the freedom
to shape the passband as I desire, not hard-wired to restrict that
ability.
