Buy an IC7000 ;-)

I run my 7000 with 150Hz filter width for PSK31 and if that's not small enough 
I'll put one or both manual notches into play to narrow things further.

I can only define three filters and I have to do that at the rig, there is no 
provision to do it via CAT. But I can choose via CAT. They are forced to be 
centered at 1500Hz. I have setup 150Hz (for PSK31 and 63), 600Hz (for MFSK and 
Olivia) and 3KHz (for search/acquisition and MT63-1K)

Right now I'm using fldigi because I need calibration capability but when the 
new HRD/DM780 comes out with calibration I'm looking forward to switching back 
so I can hopefully program some macros in DM780 to QSY to 1500Hz waterfall and 
dump the filter from 3KHz to 150Hz with a single button press. That way I can 
have a "search mode" and a "QSO mode".
