Yes that was me. I was using 7S0X previously and it was very confusing  
on SSB and looong for CW. But yes, I understand exactly what you  
mean... The DSP behind your ears needs a firmware upgrade Bill! :)

I have a similar setup with the difference that my narrow SSB filter  
is 2.1kc. I don't notice any serious problems except that my SUB RX  
mutes when having different filers selected and narrowing down the  
passband excessively. To be pure I guess I have to turn off any filter  
not available in the sub RX when doing diversity RX. On the other  
hand, it should be possible to have the firmware pich only the filters  
available in the in both RX.
