The APF on the FT-1000D is exceptional and it's a true gain-producing peaking filter at the center frequency. By contrast, the APF in the Icom 7700/7800 is probably better characterized as an audio bandpass (ABP) filter with no peaking gain at the center frequency. I suppose the ideal APF would incorporate all the attributes of a single-channel parametric EQ with variable "Q," frequency, and amplitude.
