[Elecraft] K3 as a SW receiver

[KM5Q]

For AM SW listening be sure to get the "FM" filter (13 kHz). It gives  
you the width you need for the audio bandwidth you expect. The normal  
SSB filter (I have the 2.8) is too restricting for AM.

However, I find that switching mode from AM to SSB reduces severe  
fading and distortion, much like AM synchronous detection does (fills  
in the missing carrier). It's a good technique, at least until synch  
detection is implemented in the firmware.
