Is the fact that you can't on-the-fly mix and match mismatched sets  
of IF filters a really crucial issue?

If you have both 250 and 500 Hz filters, what's the advantage of  
using a wider one in the first IF, what's the advantage of using a  
wider one in the second IF?

One of the issues I have with my K2 is keeping both the crystal  
filter and the DSP filters in synch for CW and RTTY. I wish I could  
program four filter combinations of each, but instead I have to  
manually select them each time.
