"auto" and have the 1800 slot switched in at 600 as you suggest so that the
filter set 2400-1000-600 would be available at all times.

         Yes, what I suggested would allow that.

         FYI, the actual 6 dB BW of the 1000 is actually
closer to 1100 (1070 I recall).  I also discovered
the actual 6 dB BW of the 1800 (IN CW MODE ONLY) is
about 1400 (in SSB MODE it is closer to 1900).  I
still don't understand why but I have measured this
several times both with Spectrogram and manually.
Since this is so close to the 1000's actual BW, I
use the 1800 as my wide CW filter and the 600 as my
narrow filter (my 1000 Hz is removed...actually I
put it in the 500 slot and disable it).
