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

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

On the other hand, Title 47 which includes more than Part 97 regularly
defines SSB as 2K80J3E (2.8 KHz bandwidth) and specifies a maximum
modulating frequency of 2.8 KHz for various FM voice "communications"
services.

Given that standard, and the fact that RM-10740 was dismissed without
modifying the rule that requires the use of minimum bandwidth, without
modifying the rules against intentional interference, and without
modifying the rule that requires "good engineering practice," willful
use of a bandwidth in excess of 2.8 KHz can *still* be considered a
violation in conjunction with other conditions - particularly
interference, splatter, distortion, IMD, etc.
