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

[David Cole]

Keith,

Respectfully, I think you missed an important part of Joe's post.  The
rules state-- that for the mode used, not the least broad mode, nor the
narrowest mode possible, but for the mode being used...

97.307(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.

I added the caps for emphasis.  So this entire discussion hangs on the
question-- is ESSB the same mode as SSB.  If it is, then it is not
legal, very simple.  If ESSB is a different mode than SSB, than this
discussion path proves nothing. 

I am very interested in the answer to this questions as well as a few
others are I expect.  I just don't know where to find a list of FCC
accepted mode definitions.  If ESSB is not address in the list, then I
believe it would fall under SSB, and as such not be legal.
