[Elecraft] K3 as a SW receiver

[ab2tc]

Hello again again,

On the issue of using the SSB mode for AM reception, having a look at this
spectrum snip from LP-PAN:

Look at that monstrously wide  local station at 1490kHz. Using USB mode the
distant station at 1500kHz is perfectly copyable, in fact the disco music
from 1490 is barely noticeable. No other mode will bring the 1500kHz station
through. The K3 has such great suppression of the opposite sideband that
there is absolutely no flutter (which is usually a problem with analog
radios) when zero beating an AM station. You bet, SSB mode reception of AM
stations is a very good option in difficult situations with this radio.
