[1000mp] Re: filter strategy

[Gorsline]

In several postings about how to filter the MP family, there's been contradictory advice for how to start if you're not able to add matching filters in both IFs.  Should you start with filling the 2nd or 3rd IF slots first?  One posting the other day recommended starting in the 3rd IF, where I had always heard that the closer to the front end, the better.
So which is right and why?  Has anybody done any practical measurements?  How does DSP use change the conclusions?
