That would make sense since those with BC rigs get 15 Khz response so 
could be 30 kilohertz wide. Others have modified ham rigs for better 
audio response. I just read about a Viking 500 mod. A lot of people with 
BC Iron also have BC consoles and mics all capable of far more than 3 
Khz response..

The is also a section in the rules pertaining to necessary bandwidth so 
there is more than one way to speed. :-)
