I remember when radios had Selectivity controls, and you turned them to 
the right which increased selectivity (i.e., decreased bandwidth). The 
K3 has a control which is labeled Width and so it's reasonable to turn 
it to the right to increase (band)width.

But the point I want to make is that if this is a change for you, you 
will get used to it. It is not something that will always be a problem.

There is a finite amount of work that Wayne and Lyle can do in a finite 
time. I would much rather have them spend their time on issues that will 
always be problems (until they are fixed).

For example, a number of people have complained that they want to adjust 
  receiver controls while transmitting. This is something that will 
always be a problem for these people; it won't go away until it's fixed. 
And that's the kind of thing I'd prefer to see them work on.
