here run 2.3kc followed by a 2.1kc, both 8 pole and it makes a big 
difference on crowded band.
for CW, which is 99% of activity, the 2.1 follows a .300 or a .500 and 
believe it ot not
makes a big difference as well. On Tx, there is option of heavy (adjusts 
to over 20db) clipping
between the two SSB filters which keeps average power close to peak and 
while sounding
rather unnatural, is very easy to understand.

it's a tradeoff. sound like a radio announcer and require more space and 
peak power to get
through or sound mechanical and get through with less power, in less 
space. For DX pileups,
"5x9, thanks", IMO, the natural sound isn't worth the extra time in the 
pileup...especially
when SSB is only, by choice, a small percent of operating time here.

That's the Drake TR7. The Argonaut 509 never goes on SSB...
