The mechanical filters has a better frq response and much steper
skirts that the ceramic and crystal filters.
My first HF rig, a Collins KWM-2A (and no, I am not that old) had
mech. IF filters and ceramic and crystal filter just don't compare.
The sad thing is you have to choose with the 817. There is only room
for one. I plan to get the CW filter, mainly due to the fact that the
817 does not have DSP filtering. Otherwise I would get the SSB filter
and use the DSP to narrow things down. Thats what I do with my FT-100.
It will proberly come in 817 Mk. II. "Yaesu DE OZ1GIY QSL?"

for best audio quality on SSB I always have that control full open.
