[Elecraft] K4 on AM

[David Gilbert]

Well, when a minority few seem to think that they should be special 
enough to use far more bandwidth than the rest of us do, then I'd say 
the horse isn't dead yet.  If everyone ran AM that wide that the bands 
would sound horrible.  If that isn't a good enough definition of 
presumed entitlement I don't know what is.

Why Elecraft is willing to enable people to use 10 KHz of bandwidth for 
no good communication reason is beyond me.  It would certainly make me 
think thrice about supporting a K4.

And Joe didn't bring up the subject ... you and W2XJ did.
