A friend of mine has a flex and can vary his transmitter BW we ran some tests and as I told Dick,, if ur gonna chase DX as you narrow your signal to 2 K or so with the same mike gain etc really gives you punch with better average power but no increase in distortion,, well not much observing it on the P3 taking it much less than that does cause distortion bad sounding audio but if you know any folk with a flex get them to do the same test interesting to observe on the P3 Dick still likes to use ESSB but not when 75 is very active
