Quite true. I assumed the filter was adjusted for the *same* low frequency cutoff so that wouldn't be a factor.
The improved intelligibility of the wider filter comes from the better high frequency response. Setting it to make more lows would defeat the value of the wider filter and waste energy. Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- I think it depends on the voice spectrum. With a typical male voice there is a lot of power at low frequencies which is not needed for comprehension. If those low frequencies are filtered out, either by an audio high-pass filter (series capacitor) or by the crystal filter (the edge nearest the carrier) then the extra transmitted bandwidth should make very little difference in "talk power".
