[Elecraft] near band edge?

[Dan KB6NU]

W5ALT says that the maximum bandwidth for a CW signal (assuming  
you're modulating with a square wave) is 26 x wpm (http:// 
www.comportco.com/~w5alt/cw/cwindex.php?pg=5).  So that makes the  
bandwidth--at most--520 Hz. I would assume that the K2 shapes the  
signal, so the bandwidth should be narrower.

73!
