I measured occupied bandwidth of an FTDX5000 after the Sept 2014 
firmware update in both normal and Class A modes. The FTDX5000 is pretty 
clean on SSB either way, Class A is only slightly better. It's wide on 
CW, mostly due, I believe, to carelessness about keying waveshape and to 
the overly fast keying slope.

Measured data is here. http://k9yc.com/FTDX5000_Report.pdf
