[1000mp] Using both 500 and 250Hz MkV filters in RTTY mode

[Stu]

Isn't it a matter of setting the filters up in the menu to be nar 1 500hz and nar 2 250hz I have mine set that
way
I have a 500hz at the second if and have a 250hz at third if in my radio at present
menu 5.4 I have it set at 455

when I checked it with k6se software it was set how I wanted it
