Recent rigs with narrow CW filters as standard:

Alinco DX70
Icom 761
Icom 765
Yaesu FT100D
Yaesu FT1000D
Yaesu FT747
Icom 781
I believe the Kenwood TS950SDX did also, but don't
quote me on that.

In terms of SSB filters, most of the "good buddy" SSB
crowd want wider filters than what is standard.  They
think Hi Fidelity beats copyability
