Mark, the roofing filters on 1.373b5 or b3 don't kick in at the same 
place relative to the dsp bandwidth filter as they do in 1.372.  In 
1.372 the bandwidth of the roofing filters kicks in when the dsp 
bandwidth reaches the bandwidth of the roofing filter, when going 
narrower.  That is, when you have your roofing filter selection set to 
automatic, and you turn your bandwidth control narrower, the 2.4 khz 
filter kicks in at 2.4 khz, the 1 khz filter kicks in at 1 khz, etc on 
down.

But in 1.373, the roofing filters won't kick in right away.  There is a 
lag kicking in the roofing filters regardless of whether you are 
narrowing or widening the dsp filter.  So you may have a dsp filter of 
970 hz, say, and a roofing filter of 2.4 khz, and have to go to 960 hz 
with the dsp control until the 1 khz roofing filter kicks in.  Then as 
you widen the dsp filter you may not get back to the 2.4 khz roofing 
filter until you hit 1.040 khz with the dsp control.

No biggie, but I prefer 1.372.  --Brent N9HZ
