I'm not familiar with SR5, but the peak at 1600Hz MAY be deliberate: this
has been used by some to increase readability in voice channels, though, not
sure if this is good in the presence of high noise as on HF.

Actually, it does.
Imagine you are generating your sideband at a 9MHz IF. In the IF you
are generating USB, i.e. you have a 9MHz carrier and 1KHz and 1.2KHz
tones injected to the mic jack.
