I can't, for the life of me, figure why anyone would want to partake in 
contesting.

Listening to CW with a wide filter often reveals keying effects that are 
otherwise masked by narrower filters.  I also find narrow filters to be 
somewhat fatiguing for general rag-chew QSOs.   An example was the Kenwood 
TS-870.  CW reception with a DSP filter setting above 1 kHz was not 
possible.

The filter capacity is there in these newer radios.  Why not allow the 
ability to make full use of them, even if only for testing purposes?

Tnx for the suggestion on using RIT.  However, the value will not save to 
memory as it does with the described method.
