Chuck, True, true *BUT* the roofing filter can suppress signals before they get to the hardware AGC. If one is happy with only the DSP filtering alone, then do not purchase any roofing filters at all, just go with the stock 2.7 kHz roofing filter. Different strokes for different folks, some need the additional filtering, others do not - and others will purchase a full set of filters just to have them available - the choice depends on your operating habits and expectations as well as your ham radio budget. The casual operators will have great success with only the 2.7 kHz filter, but a contester will want a full complement of roofing filters to fight those 'tough times'.
