Mike,
Although I have never measured my KX1, I suspect your measurements are correct. I usually set my filter setting around 1.5 to 2 KHZ and
use this setting to tune around, for most QSO's, and for all zero beating. If the going gets tough in a QSO I then turn on the RIT, use a sharper
setting and use a lower pitch. If a person prefers to use a sharper filter setting for most operation, possibly a lower offset would be preferable,
however the somewhat marginal opposite sideband rejection would probably be degraded further.
I am considering adding an active audio filter possibly with a broad enough response curve to let both 400 and 600 Hz through. Also under
consideration is a lowpass audio filter. In the past I have build single pole active filters which have improved the audio selectivity without
any apparent detrimental effects to the audio quality. Hopefully I could squeeze in inside the AGC loop, however it might need to be external.
