Hello again re the TS570 When I bought my TS570 earlier this year I asked about the additional filters as I am a 99+ per cent CW operator. The dealer suggested I try the rig without first as the digital filtering is so good. This has proved to be the case. So the dealer has done himself out of a few quid!!! An observation which I have made over the last months in looking at reports from major dx peditions is that they tend to use either the FT1000 MP or V or the TS570 if weight is a consideration. 73 de Dave G3YXX In message <[log in to unmask]>, Dave Hillebrandt <[log in to unmask]> writes >Hi There, Slightly off the topic, can you tell me if the TS570 comes with >filters for CW or do I have to get extra filters for CW and SSB?
