Mike,

Slight correction.
The old SSB stock filter width was 2.2kHz, but the capacitors for the 2.4kHz
width has been shipped standard with the KSB2 for a long time now.  For
those who prefer the even wider 2.6 kHz width filter, Elecraft offers a set
of capacitors to make the change.

In any case, the current 'default' SSB filter width is now 2.4 kHz.

73,
