[ICOM] 746 filter issue

[Greenacres113 at aol.com]

I  have sort of answered my own   question abt. being able to choose filters 
[CW] in the 746. I have a .5 in  socket 1 & a .250 in socket 2. Both are 9 mhz 
IF. 
If you run the radio  in FIL screen you can press F2 and run thru all filters 
in a second or two. The  NAR button will only pick socket 1 running in M1 or 
M2 screen. In FIL screen NAR  button will still only pick socket 1. I leave 
NAR off and use the F2 button. In  FIL screen F2 will choose the various 9 mhz. 
IF filters installed. F4 will pick  455 kc ones if you have those installed. 
My 746 has the 2.4,.5 & .250  installed. The display shows a 15 kc one but it's 
really the 2.4 .I think the  15kc one is an FM filter. If you want to run in 
M1 or M2 just press MENU. To  return to being able to select CW filters hold 
FILTER button 2 seconds and  you're back to FIL menu. Being a 90% cw guy it's 
good for me. I have the  ANF/APF  set to APF M. I can choose to listen with the 
radio in FIL screen  using 2.4,.5,.250 or .160 width filtering
