Why do you want a 6kHz bandwidth in CW? Most of us would find listening to
CW with a pitch of that pretty well impossible. Or maybe you are using it
with your PC soundcard with programs like CW Skimmer? (of which I have
strong views which I won't repeat here...). Here I never use a filter any
wider than 400Hz on CW, except very occasionally 1kHz in contests so I here
people calling off channel. In normal use there really is no need for
anything wider.
