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

[Fred Jensen]

Since I don't casually frequent the SSB sub-bands, where and when would 
I be likely to find ESSB?  I'd like to see what it sounds like.  I have 
an FT-847 which is pretty broad in SSB, might be fun to compare it to 
the K3.

And, sadly for Milverton, I will admit to being a somewhat casual 
contester, mainly CW and some RTTY, not a lot on SSB since I can't hear 
it all that well.
