[Elecraft] Is there a reason the receive is so Skinny

Including maintaining a *clean*, narrow signal that does not use
half again as much spectrum as a reasonable communications grade
signal as defined by ITU (and NTIA).

(SSB) Phone = 2K80J3E => Necessary bandwidth 2.8 KHz. Emissions outside
2.80 KHz = "Spurious emission"

SSB greater than 2.8 KHz is neither "good engineering practice" nor
"necessary for the information rate and emission type being transmitted".
