Hi Chris,

Industry Canada RIC-2 specifies maximum occupied bandwidth per channel, not
emission type by band or sub-band.

4. Bandwidths

1. The bandwidth of a transmitted signal shall be no greater than the
maximum bandwidth
set out in Column II of an item of Schedule I for the frequency band set out
in Column I
of that item.

2. The bandwidth of a signal shall be determined by measuring the frequency
band
occupied by that signal at a level that is 26 dB below the maximum amplitude
of that
signal.

The maximum occupied bandwidth in the HF range is 6 kHz, with two
exceptions: 1 kHz on 30m and 20 kHz on 10m.

With average filters, 6 kHz @ -26 dB equates to approx. 4.5 kHz @ -6 dB

Cheers for now, 73,
