I am using that configuration here but with Dunestar filters. Works pretty well. The W3NQN filter set is reputed to have better out of band rejection than the Dunestars so they should work just fine. You'll need to set things up so your band pass filters can't drop out of circuit though. If they do then its very easy to toast the front end of your second radio! Trust me, I'm writing from experience on this! My current set-up is 2 x FT1000MP, Alpha 87A, Acom 1000, Array solutions SO2R box, Six Pack, 2 x Dunestar, C31XR at 70ft, XM240 at 85ft (Rt angles to C31XR), Inverted Vees at 70ft for 160/80. All ants on one tower. The Six Pack and Dunestars are now controlled using home built band decoders driven from the band data output on the FT1000MPs. Manual switching is fine but only whilst you are wide awake.
