That wide bandwidth would be pretty nice, but what I am shooting for is a
DXing machine. With that wider bandwidth, I am not sure if we would need
good group delay characteristics, but I do know that the IP3 of the 2nd
mixer would suffer from out of bandpass signals. I do like the idea of the
2.5kHz bandwidth, but right now, Murata has discontinued production of the
CFJ/CFR series of filters that have that bandwidth. I would surmise that
the larger manufacturers have made a lifetime buy of those filters. I think
that the only option for a narrow bandwidth filter is the Mechanical FIlter.

SMHL,

IIRC: DRM requires 12kHz or 15kHz.
So the first two are A-OK at 2.5kHz and 6kHz; but a third at 12/15kHz
would made the radio's IF Section up-grade-able to DRM is desired.

I dunno about the 10 kc, Gregg. I'd go for
something really tight, at NRSC BW. Anything
wider than that, you're just asking for noise.
