hi Joe - I'll just add that your 2.7, 400, 200 sounds perfect for what you enjoy doing (CW, data, casual SSB). Unless you have identified a specific need for another filter that would seem to make sense. If you do want to try another filter, consider installing the Sub with 2.7 and 400, and put the other filter (like the 2.1 or 1.0) in the Main. That would give you two matching filters for diversity and two more filter for other conditions. Just a thought. - jeff wk6i
