You will also need a 2.7 or 2.8 kHz filter for SSB TX.  The 6 kHz
filter is for AM.  The 500 Hz filter is a good choice for CW and Data.

The ATU is a very slick and well-integrated device.  It memorizes L/C
settings for each band, in many segments (see manual).  I added the
ATU later, but in retrospect I should have added it first.

Good Luck & 73,
