The poster who made that request has made it before. Actually, the width of the transmitted signal should be controlled in the DSP, so Joe does have a point, but the designers at Elecraft are not ready to let go of the bandwidth "safety net" provided by the 6 kHz filter. Other SDR transmitters can generate AM and ESSB (and FM too) with no roofing filters at all, so it is possible to control the width using only the DSP.
