Filter with 1500 Hz center frequency

Hi all ...
Is it possible to include 1500 Hz as center frequency to the existing filters? Just to match WSPR from WSJT-X. I've been using it for a few days on mcHF V0.4 (CAT + PTT + USB audio), lots of fun at 27dBm

I will not say for UHSDR, in my mod-firmware I already worked with filters, in particular, I added CW filters with a width of 200 and 100 Hz. What exactly do you need? Give a normal, well-voiced technical task.

I read about WSPR. If you select a 2.7 kHz BPF filter, you just get a 2.5 kHz bandwidth with a center 1.5 kHz. 73!

Gentleman;
I use WSPR on USB mode, as it should be. Of course I use regular SSB filters (low pass, band pass etc with high cut at 1.8, 2.4 whatever), any of them which allows those 200Hz BW around 1500Hz to pass thru. Everything's perfect.
I noticed that even at USB I can select "CW" filters (e.g. 900Hz center frequency 300Hz BW I use when decoding DSC on HF or RTTY on ham bands etc, when I set 900Hz at those softwares as the center freq).
Since WSPR software by default uses a 1500 Hz "tone" +/- 100Hz what I suggest was sort of data modes filter @ 1500Hz with 300Hz BW.
It's a way to avoid nearby signals driving agc. Is the same CW filter with a few extra center frequencies (500, 550, 600 etc ... 900 ... jump to 1500).
Regards;

Accepted, in the next version of the mod-firmware I will add a filter with a center of 1500 Hz and a bandwidth of 300 Hz. 73!

Ok , got it. I saw 48KHz when I use DIQ = EXT, but using DIG = EXT I have a filtered audio and the filters have effect on it. But if AGC is not sampled inside the filter passband there's no advantage at all to have a narrower filter for digital modes. Attached a picture from WSJT-X input monitor in wide band mode. mcHF filter = 1.8K wide, 1.3K CF.

I understand. My use is pretty standard like an analog radio, except that the serial CAT port and audio interface are embedded @ USB port. I did'n see lack of CPU, to be honest performance is very acceptable. Run for hours with 27dBm no frequency drift nor power variations. The only "issue" is that PC clock must be compensated for something like 100ms to match NTP synched PC time. The same apply when I use RTTY PSK31 etc using FLDigi, except that CAT does not work ok.
I tried DIQ once on DreAM DRM software, but those RX only modes I run with SDR# or HDSDR and AirSpy SDR.
Still a surprise that AGC is not derived after IF filters. Does this solution reduce a desired weak signal inside filter pass band while there's another strong signal within the 48KHz baseband? I did not notice this behaviour btw.

Yes, virtual audio cables, I use them to plug SDRs that run at the same PC of external decoders, screen capture recorders etc.
This WSPR app was just a test, I was away from a long time (my first log was at 2009 1st quarter), and I like the idea to run it using mcHF because its ease of low power setup. Mine still without PA, just an MWH591 hybrid amplifier that delivers 800mW maximum from 1 to 250MHz. So I set "5W" to have 500mW for now.
But the future is a regular (and modified) PA, with a pair of BFG591s at the driver and some bipolar at the output pair (2SC1971 may be). CW and SSB. I did not like the original mosfets for a portable QRP, too much bias current to have enough gain at higher frequencies. But this is another story.
Thanks for all info. 73.

... So I forgot that there is a possiblity of a "mixed operation".
