The later version, option 3 upgrade to the OMNI VI, and the OMNI VI 
plus, provides for a total of 3 filter possibilities, one stock standard 
for SSB and two options (not including the FM roofing filter).  Your 
OMNI VI is an older version, then, if you only have two slots, one for 
the stock filter and one option (NAR button) in the 9 MHz IF.  The later 
board provides two options, and a button is added to the front panel, N1 
and N2 for that 9  MHz IF.  Then the 6.3 filter positions still include 
a 1.8, 500 and 250 buttons for those slots.  Pushing the button toggles 
on and off, so if you have the 1.8 pushed (LED on) and you want to go 
back to 2.4 (or whatever filter you have in that stock position), you 
merely push the button again.

Its a fine radio.
