Every time I see the term ESSB I see red. I wonder if these folks
have ever read FCC Part 97.307 (a) Emission Standards:
(a) No amateur station transmission shall occupy more bandwidth than
necessary for the information rate and emission type being
transmitted, in accordance with good amateur practice.

Instead of playing wannabe broadcast engineer, why don't these folks
try something really creative, like trying to see how *little*
bandwidth they can use to communicate, instead of how much bandwidth
they can consume?
Icom has a lot of faults (like very misleading advertising) but I do
commend them for limiting the bandwidth of their voice modes.
End of rant.
