Hi Colin.

I didn't even realize that it would take mechanical filters.  What does it 
use?  Are they the typical YK88S and YK88C series filters?  Have you 
actually heard a TS2000S with any of those filters installed, and if so 
could you comment upon what the receive sounded like with the filter 
installed?  I don't think I would do it for CW, but crystal filters for SSB 
and AM might be kind of nice.  Oh, I could work with the radio indefinitely 
as it is, but I just don't like the DSP bandpass filtering as well as I 
like the crystal filtering in my older Kenwood TS690S.  It isn't a big 
enough annoyance to cause me to get rid of the radio, but more of a 
curiosity as to whether there is a noticeable improvement with the extra 
filtering.
