[Elecraft] 6 khz cw question

[n4lq]

Oh yes...I want to hear as much bandwidth as possible partly because it's my 
temporary cure for no bandscope and partly because I just like a wide open 
sound when working around the shack. The sound of QRN and all the cw signals 
is more relaxing than listening anything I know of, shrill pitches included! 
I see no reason for Elecraft to have deliberately restricted the bandwidth 
in CW mode only.
