Has anyone changed resistor values on this board to increase the bandwidth for better ssb recovery? 

Have to ask.   How much bandwidth do you need?
 
Nearly 3000hz is wider than most filters used in SSB transmitters.
Most of mine are 2.1 and 2.4Khz and 2.8khz is considered wide.
Also despite your RX band width width the amount of transmitted
information is far more limited and you will not hear "more" other
than greater adjacent frequency interference that is within your
pass-band.


However you may need to alter C3-C6 to a lower value.  Try 33nF or 10nF
Reason for this is the  detectors are low pass in nature and those capacitors
are part of that.

I'd go on line and find a calc or spreadsheet for recalculating the values
before going there.  High order RC filters tend to have a lot of interaction.

If your using a computer to render audio from I&Q then the polyphase board
is not needed.

1800hz, no idea where you get that.

See the plots on the stor page   http://qrp-labs.com/polyphase.html

It mentions to 1800 hz for things like WSPR and other digital modes but
the board does as shown.

1800hz for SSB  would be on the narrow side.  But thats not the intended application
other than incidental.  Tweaking the Polyphase alone likely will not get you what
you want as its mostly GIGO.

The yabut is the 4 caps I mentioned last time and that also colors the bandwidth
as will the output transformers.

So the QDS detector caps C3-6 must be smaller.
Also the bandwidth of the 600ohm transformer will be only as specified if loaded
to 600 ohms, even then there will be significant roll off under 300hz and likely
the high side too.  They are designed to old school hard-copper telephone
bandwidth (not Iphone) is 200hz at the low end is maybe about it.

FWIW, I've connected the output of my polyphase board to amplified computer speakers and listened to some pleasant sounding SSB as long as the band isn't crowded.

Maybe I've jumped the gun a bit. This will be my first experience with polyphase demodulation as I am so used to listening through 2.5 and 3.0 Khz 8 pole crystal filters. These have been difficult to design and implement in the past so you can understand my thoughts on a seemingly narrow bandwidth. When my rx is complete I will post my findings, no doubt I will be pleasantly surprised.

Mike,

This will be an experience for you.  After decades of crystal filter IO/Phasing radios
are like a whole level of less distortion.  Less distortion, less group delay, it sounds
much cleaner when a bunch of station in the pass band.
