Icom IC-761 (IC 761 IC761) Wider SSB band

When in SSB mode and the filter switch is in the "out position", your normal bandwidth is 2.6kHz. When the filer switch is in the "in position", your normal bandwidth is 2.4kHz. I have noticed there is a 3rd SSB bandwidth for receiving in the SSB mode. Leave the filter switch in the out position and place the IF shift button in the "in position" for IF shift, and now the bandwidth is 3 to 3.2kHz wide.
When using the filter switch only to select the advertised wide and narrow position for SSB bandwidth, you receive and transmit at those bandwidths and are using both the 9MHz and 455MHz filters; however, when using the above method as stated for the wider selectivity, it appears you are receiving through the wide ceramic 455MHz filter only, and bypassing the 9MHz filter. So there are three positions, not two.
