[Elecraft] K2 SSBCAPKT: 2.4kHz or 2.6kHz SSB bandwidth?

Quite true. I assumed the filter was adjusted for the *same* low frequency
cutoff so that wouldn't be a factor.

The improved intelligibility of the wider filter comes from the better high
frequency response. Setting it to make more lows would defeat the value of
the wider filter and waste energy.

I think it depends on the voice spectrum.  With a typical male voice
there is a lot of power at low frequencies which is not needed for
comprehension.

If those low frequencies are filtered out, either by an audio high-pass
filter (series capacitor) or by the crystal filter (the edge nearest the
carrier) then the extra transmitted bandwidth should make very little
difference in "talk power".
