[1000mp] Filters for the Mark V

[Barry N1EU]

Lately I switched my 400hz 455khz (3rd) if filter for the 500hz Collins 
mechanical filter and finding it smoother to listen to and better for 
running (i.e., able to hear slightly off-freq callers).  My first choice to 
tighten things up is 250hz 2nd if and 500hz Collins 3rd if, a great 
combination, which I prefer 99% of the time compared to the  250hz/250hz 
combination.

I know some ops prefer to really tighten things up on cw, but I'm not one of 
them (even on 160M).

73,
