That's where the better shape factor hits home. For the 1 kHz filter,
with -30dB BW of 1400 Hz, we have adequate rejection at 1400/2 = 700
Hz, versus the 5-pole 500 Hz at 1092/2 = 546 Hz, a difference of only
154 from the center frequency. Not a bad single filter choice for for
CW ops like me who aren't serious contesters, and are interested in
using the context filter.
