[Elecraft] re bandwidth select on am mode re K3

[Fern Rivard]

    Well, it would have made things a lot simpler had them made the display show 6 khz rather than 3 khz.   Fern

So to make everyone happy a simple way to explain is 3.00 = 6.00

As Wayne has repeatedly stated, the K3 shows the audio bandwidth - 
not the RF bandwidth.  Since the AM mode does not support VSB 
(vestigial side band) or ISB (independent side band) the reporting 
is consistent.  

I would very much like to see the K3 support VSB-U and VSB-L (offset 
the display/carrier to the lower/upper -6dB points of the filter 
respectively and demodulate only the one sideband).  That provide 
enhanced fidelity and the opportunity to eliminate QRM from one 
side or the other.  With DSP demodulation it should be relatively 
easy to implement.
