Thanks Bob and Wes,

Very interesting. I'm currently in SM0 but I will check how things look
with my RP when back in SM7 this weekend.
I seriously doubt one RP differs from another, so I will probably see the
same.
With 96kHz sub band width, there is plenty of wiggle room for fitting a
70kHz CW segment into the bandwidth.

73,

Björn
