[Elecraft] What K3 rx/tx Modes?

[g4ilo at qsl.net]

I think it does all of those (not sure about WFM though) plus RTTY / data 
modes of course. But as I understand it you need to order an AM filter to 
transmit AM and an FM filter to transmit FM. Not quite sure why you need 
the FM filter to *transmit* FM, as FM is usually generated using a 
different method to the other modes, but that's what the order page seems 
to say.

I ordered the 10W basic, the ATU, the general coverage module and the FM 
filter. Not bothered about transmitting AM, and I think the advice to wait 
and see what roofing filter combinations are best makes a lot of sense. 
I'll wait and see what the experts have to say once they get their hands on 
their K3s.

I think it's a stroke of genius on Elecraft's part to come up with a way to 
buy a top-line rig in instalments. I'd never, ever consider buying any of 
the other radios the K3 is being compared with - I just couldn't afford it.

What MODES, does the K3 support - in receive and
in transmit?

CW, USB, LSB, FM, WFM, AM, ................ ?

Will it do standard 10 meter FM rx and  tx?

And does it all come, with base level 10W K3?
