A passband narrower than about 280 Hz removes some of a 45 baud signal.
OTOH, I have used a 200 Hz DSP filter a lot in contests and pileups because
removing off-frequency signals is a bigger benefit than the little bit lost
with the too-narrow filter.  This requires precise tuning but helps separate
signals.  Even 150 Hz works pretty good, though I never go that narrow.
