I don't understand why you want 13 kHz for JT65.

The system requirements from their webpage are

System Requirements
• SSB transceiver and antenna for one or more VHF/UHF bands
• Computer running the Microsoft Windows, Linux, or FreeBSD operating
system
• 800 MHz or faster CPU and 128 MB of available RAM
• Monitor with at least 800 x 600 resolution (more is better)
• Sound card supported by your operating system
• Computer-to-radio interface using a serial port to key your PTT line.  Linux
and FreeBSD versions can also use a parallel port.
• Audio connections between transceiver and sound card
• A means for synchronizing your computer clock to UT

None of this even remotely indicates 13 kHz needed for operation. The
signal seems to be only 400-500 Hz wide.   So if anything it indicates
that the data A mode on a K3 should be ideal. Using a 6 kHz filter for
SSB would give you 4.5 kHz bandwidth on a K3, or eight to ten signals.
 What gives?

4.39 is the current production.  Some number of changes since 4.33
