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

[Geoffrey Mackenzie-Kennedy]

Ah but, under noisy band conditions the bandwidth of the listening receiver 
is most probably set to some value much less than 2.4 kHz. So I would 
question whether a wider filter in the transmitter does in fact result in 
improved intelligibility under these conditions.

FWIW I find that a 2.1 kHz filter in the transmitter, with the carrier 
placed so that the audio frequencies from 300 Hz downwards are attenuated, 
works well under noisy conditions without sounding like a parrot.
