Airspy Mini - 10 MHz bandwidth option

Copied to the "Formal request" forum
I would like to run the AirSpy Mini at 10 MHz bandwidth in SDR Console. In SDRSharp this is possible by changing the value from 0 to 1 in the following line in the Config.exe file:
<add key="airspy.debug" value="0" />
I've run my Airspy Mini for two years plus including through summer temperatures of 35 C but (emphasise - but) I did fit heatsinks to either side of the case - a pair of 20 mm x 20 mm on each side.
The only 'down' side is that two spurs appear - at -3 MHz and +1 MHz from centre. But on the FM Band for 'losing' two frequencies I gain 4Mhz of extra bandwidth - and without that extra bandwidth I would have totally missed Azerbaycun Radio on 94.6 MHz. (First UK reception AFAIK) if I had been running SDRConsole.
Is it possible for SDRConsole to be modified to give the same option? Even if you add a pop up warning saying "Don't blame Simon if your SDR blows up"
Thanks
