Recent efforts to fight QRM close to my rcve freq have resulted in this 
advice on dial settings:

1. INRAD 1.8 filters (2) switched on.
2. on USB, Shift control turned leftwards to near the first line 
off-the-center (i.e., 11 o'clock position).
3.  The Width control turned rightwards to nearly 1PM postion (USB).
4.  Intercept Point button ON.
5.  use some attenuation ... 6 to 12 db. postions, varying.
6.  RF gain full on.
7.  add AF gain as needed.

Have not found the VRF very helpful, but sometimes is ok.  Also, have not 
found the IDSP button ON much different from OFF.

The weak sigs will really be weak, but u can hear them due to lessened QRM 
on the sides.  This rcvr is really great.... beats all the rest!
