[KX3] CMP restricts transmitted bandwidth

New KX3 owner here. While setting it up for SSB, I expected the
compression to work similarly to that of the K3. On the K3, the
compression level does not affect the bandwidth of the transmitted audio,
but it definitely does on the KX3.

With the KX3, if the CMP level is set to "0", the transmit bandwidth
(according to the K3/P3 I'm using to monitor the output of the KX3) is
about 2.8 KHz, which I would expect (extending from about 100 Hz to
2.9Khz). However, as soon as the CMP is increased to anything above "0",
the bandwidth is constrained to about 2.45 KHz (extending from 250 Hz to
about 2.7 KHz).

Have I missed a setup parameter somewhere, or is this the intended behavior?
