[Elecraft] 1.8 or 2.1 kc Filter

[Brett Howard]

I find that using the shift control and sending things south a tad can
help with this problem  Even if you don't have a 1.8K filter try that
with just a DSP filter width of 1.8 and use the shift and turn it
downward until it sounds good.  Then you can tune around the band like
that and when they sound right you're pretty decently well centered up
on the other station.
