[TenTec] CW Filters ???

[Carl Moreschi]

I'm going to go against the grain here and say just buy the 500 hertz 
filter.  The 500 hertz filter adds badly needed skirts to the DSP 
filters.  I find I almost always use 500 hertz on CW as the filter width.

The 300 hertz filter is rarely used by me.  Only when the going gets 
very tough do I find there is an improvement with this filter.  I find 
with the 500 hertz filter and a DSP setting of 200, things are close to 
the best you can get.
