Ed,

I would think you are hearing the results of a narrow passband rather 
than DSP audio distortion.
I say that because in all cases with the K3, it is the DSP that 
determines the filter width rather than the roofing filter.  What I am 
saying is that even if you put in a 1.8k filter, SSB at a 1.8k width 
will sound the same as it does right now using only the DSP.

I trust you are using the HI-Cut to narrow the receive passband, leaving 
the LO-Cut set to the 200 to 300 Hz range rather than trying to use the 
Width and Shift controls.  If you are using Shift and Width, you have to 
re-position Shift with every change in Width or the speech will become 
more distorted.
Using HI-Cut, you just reduce the high frequency end - no other change 
is required.
