I'm not sure I understand the question, but I'll attempt an answer.

In any mode where a bandwidth less than 150 Hz is available, the DSP 
will use either FIR filters or IIR filters.  If you set IIR ON by 
tapping "7" in one of the CONDFIG:FLx menus so that "IIR ON" flashes 
briefly in the display, then you have globally enabled IIR filtering for 
these narrow bandwidths, regardless of mode or crystal (roofing) filter 
in use.  If instead it flashes "IIR OFF" then you are using FIR filters 
whenever the bandwidth is less than 150 Hz.

When in the CONFIG" FLx menus, the "7" key is a toggle.  It doesn't 
matter which crystal filter is indicated in the menu when you tap "7". 
The setting applies to *all* filters in *all* modes which allow a 
bandwidth of less than 150 Hz.
