[Elecraft] 6 khz cw question

[n4lq]

Dave
Why do you want a bandwidth of 2.7khz then? Most of us would also find 
listening to CW with that pitch impossible or annoying. You're missing the 
point here. We open up bandwidth so we can hear things. I would hate to tune 
around the band with a 400Hz filter.
The point here is, a 6kHz crystal is install and selectable from the XFL 
menu so why does it tandem the 2.8kHz DSP? That is simply a bug and 
hopefully it will be fixed soon.
