[CQ-Contest] Re: Yaesu FT1000MP Filters

[N1EU]

My two cents is to go with the INRAD 1.8Khz filter
pair for SSB contesting with the MP.  Definitely not
too narrow, although readability will improve if you
turn Shift to about 11 o'clock to move the audio
passband down slightly in frequency.

Yes, I tried the MFJ-434 and its nice EXCEPT the repeat delay minimum
setting is 3 seconds.  That's an eternity when your CQing.  And its set in
firmware, there is nothing you can do about it.  I can't imagine what the
designer was thinking about, except its obvious that he has never operated
in a contest.  I returned mine.
