Yes, as I said to your first comment, I agree.  My intent was to get folks
to first base before we go to second base.  Choosing the crystal filter
engagement point as well as setting the DSP bandwidth affects several
things, not just the skirt issues that you are focused on.  There is not a
single best answer for every situation, so it is useful to understand each
of the impacts affected by these filter choices.
