Dear Jim, 

In rtty mode FSK or AFSK the mark V will have only two filters :  wide and narrow.

I have the standard 500 hz filter in my rig and an option filter in the 455 khz IF    270 Hz. 

I can neither select these filters as explained in the manual or in the brochure, where you should select  normal : 2,3    narrow 1 : 500   narrow 2 : 270    

In practice  only : normal 2,3       and narrow 2  :  500  or 270  as described below

During contest I run mostly  500 hz wide, when the band becomes crowed I use 270 Hz  by selecting the filter menu option  8.x  .        
After setting the filter in this menu , you have to push the narrow filter buttom again to activate the new selected filter.     In the menu 8,x  you can select also  500/250 or 
2,3/250  cascade filtering. 

With the mp  rig  the filter selection was much better and flexible, the ts850 and 950 serie from Kenwood has also this way of swithing filters.
