No.

What do you mean, "No" ?

Go back and reread what I said. Especially the part "at least 2.7 kHz above my suppressed carrier frequency". Your explanation completely validates what I said. You also conveniently edited-out my later paragraph, so I'll repeat it again:

- When you consider the shape factor of typical transmit filtering, and the 3rd
order IMD characteristics of SSB transmitters, the situation is actually much
worse than I have stated.

I won't put words in your mouth, but your reply really should have been, "Yes, but it's even worse than you stated".

The start frequency is the missing carrier + lowest audio tone passed.

The stop is highest passed audio freq + the missing carrier.

The FCC considers only the radiation, not the missing carrier, so with normal
audio of 300-3000 it would be F+.3 to F+3, or with the dial set at 14.300 it
would be 14.3003 to 14.303 plus any distortion or filter blow-through.The FCC
doesn't care where the missing carrier is, so if 14.300 was segment or band end,
it wiould be at least 3000 Hz out of band.
