I was just about to post a question regarding filters yesterday. Then this 
thread popped up. Which filters I'll be needing (80% CW contesting, 10% 
other contesting, 10% DX)? Still: no one answered it exactly up to now.
I currently use 2 TS-850's in SO2R with 270Hz CW filter. I always listen 
narrow (don't have the 500Hz filter) and use RIT. Would a 250 Hz / 8 pole 
filter do the trick for me? And / or a 5 pole 500Hz?
And what with SSB? Those 10% include major SSB contests. 40m SSB from here 
is... mayhem!
PSE advice?

In the FAQ, I read that DSP would 'auto track' the right filter. Does that 
mean that you'd never be switching filters by hand? I'd like that. I almost 
never have to touch my TS-850 except the VFO dial.

PSE define 'variable filters'?

Well, apart from the filters my wish list has almost become an order form 
;o)
