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

[XE3/K5ENS via Elecraft]

I've been asking for the ability to narrow the transmit bandwidth on the K3
for years.  That would make a better contest radio.
But alas all I hear is it's on the list.

A friend of mine has a flex and can vary his transmitter BW 
we ran some tests 
and as I told Dick,, if ur gonna chase DX as you narrow your 
signal to 2 K or so with  the same mike gain etc really gives you punch 
with better average power but no increase in distortion,, well not much 
observing it on the P3 
taking it much less than that does cause distortion bad sounding audio 
but if you know any folk with a flex get them to do the same test 
interesting to observe on the P3 
Dick still likes to use ESSB but not when 75 is very active 

long thread fer sure
