The suggestion is that a 1.8Khz roofing filter will avoid HAGC pumping if the shoulder of an s9+25dB signal is present in the 350hz gap (2500-1800/2) that would have been spanned by the 2.5Khz filter. This is true but I'd suggest that if the s9+25dB shoulder is within 350hz, there's going to be plenty of that adjacent signal spilling over into your dsp passband that's going to pump your dsp AGC. So at best you will get slight improvement with the narrower filter but I wonder if it would ever make a difference in copy ability. A narrow filter just isn't buying you that much in ssb.
