[TenTec] Orion roofing filters

[Henrik Weiss]

Thanks to all who replied. I guess I mixed up the roofing filter with
the DSP selectivity ...

Today I bought my Orion and I cant wait to get to play with it.

I have to agree that Orion's stock roofing filters are 100% adequate for
me, and I bet for most other ops.  The only time when a 600 Hz filter
would help you over a 1000 Hz stock filter is when there is extremely
strong QRM in the extra 400 Hz of bandpass near a weak signal you are
trying to copy.  The DSP selectivity, down to 100 Hz, is fine for my
operations. YMMV

My advice (worth what you pay for it) is not to spend money on filters
until you check to see if the stock filters don't do the job for you.
