Hello Clive - certainly I'm happy enough if its in the passband but 
there were a few occasions where the caller was just a vague (but 
persistent) clicking - I suppose that's the trade off with narrow 
filters. OTOH without narrow filters it would be hard to find a gap.

Picking one stn out a group is getting easier but I wouldn't like to say
