[Elecraft] IF shift

[dave]

What is the point of IF shift?  What purpose does it serve?

Can't you do the same thing (or nearly so) with RIT?

My understanding of IF shift is that it allows you to move an 
interfering signal to the edge of the passband and attenuate it by doing 
so.  Seems that nearly the same result can be achieved with RIT.  Please 
correct me if I'm wrong on this.
