Even 7128 is pushing it -- if you're TX with a 2.7 kHz filter and the 
low side of the filter is at 500 Hz, your RF -3dB points would be 7124.8 
- 7127.5. Add another 200-400 Hz for filter skirts to get down to -30dB 
re: PEP.

AND is if your power amp is clean -- I see far too many that are NOT, 
splattering another3- 5 kHz either side of THAT bandwidth. Those 
stations would have to stay above 7132 kHz!
