Yeah, I won't bother with the narrow SSB filter for sure, I had the SSB 
filter in my TS-440 and it's a little too narrow to listen to.

I don't need another radio, that makes 5 HF radios, but I bought it to fix, 
it has a couple minor problems, and I may hang on to it for special events 
and field day or something possibly, or just something to play with now and 
then. I used to get mad at myself for having more UHF/VHF radios than HF 
when I like HF better, now, I think, not counting the HT's, now, I think I 
have more HF radios. lol If I'm not there I"ll have to get rid of a VHF one 
because I have no room for another HF radio.
