Hi Don.
Thanks for the reply.

I plotted a sweep of my TX chain a number of years ago, the results of which
can be seen here:

It's a linear plot, so the ripple and other imperfections really stand out. It
was taken by sweeping audio through the KSB2 well below the level of ALC action
while measuring the corresponding audio level picked up by a nearby crystal
controlled, direct conversion receiver having no filtering or AGC.
Looking at the red LSB curve, if we estimate the center of the passband to
average around "70" in amplitude, -3dB would be around "50", and -6dB would be
around "35".

And, lastly (although less scientific), if I optimize my CAL FIL settings so
that my transmitted audio has the identical quality on LSB that it has on USB
(as observed on a wideband receiver), my BFO settings are only 2.3 kHz apart.
This is 400 Hz less than the spacing suggested in the KSB2 instruction manual
for a 2.2 kHz (-6 dB) bandwidth.
