The second receiver is double conversion vs. triple conversion 
for the main receiver.  You can install one CW filter in the 
second receiver ... it is selected by pressing "sub" followed 
by NAR1 or NAR2.  This must be done once per band.  

After replacing the 500 Hz Collins mechanical filter in my 
second receiver with an INRAD 721-C (500 Hz crystal), I 
heartily recommend either the 721-C, a 703-C (400 Hz) or 
a Yaesu YF-110C (the old 500 Hz crystal filter from a FT-1000D 
if you can find one).  The crystal filter made the second receiver 
much more usable. 

If you are talking about tightening up the SSB performance, 
it is possible to "wire in" an INRAD 702 (2.1 KHz) in place 
of the Murata 6 pole 2.4 KHz ceramic filter.  The filter will 
not fit in the available space ... it must be located elsewhere 
and connected by small coax (RG-174).
