[1000mp] MK 5 filter recommendations request

The Collins filters have another shape factor then the chrystal filters. Not
as steep. This could be an advantage during contests, when stations call you
just beside your own frequency.

I tried several filters in two rigs; MkV and 1000D. So I was able to do some
A/B comparisons.

After all I have chosen for the Inrad filters, because they have such
excellent shape factor together with very nice speech fidelity.

I don't know the exact prices of all the filters in the US, but if there is
a minor difference between Yaesu and Inrad I really recommend Inrad.
