Hello Herb ...  I guess it all depends what you are used to over the years.
I ran wide no filter receivers for years as that was all I could afford in
my younger days.  I am not totally happy with ANY filtering scheme although
some do the job better than others.  The unhappiness is not really from the
filtering point but from the audio-tonal qualities.  I find that I use the
1.5 kc setting about 95 percent of the time ...but that again is from
someone who really doesn't mind hearing 3 stations at one time on the SMK.
