[Elecraft] K3 FM filter required for full AM receive width

Quite intestingly Steve, there is not much in the
firmware to police the operator in general in the K3. 

Just my impression.

I get to do a lot of things that maybe should not
happen if there was more of that type of code in the
radio. I will not confess my sins here however. ;-)

It's left to the operator to know what size roofing
filters are in their radio and to adjust it properly. 

There IS limited programming time available for K3
firmware and I appreciate the fact that there is
online HELP behind each of the CONFIG options (Press
DISP when CONFIG menu is up) rather than that time and
code space being expended on keeping the display
ranges withing what the operator should already kind
of know. Just my look.

I'm a little confused....Are you saying that
eventhough the display says 
10kHz, it's really not unless you have the FM filter
and if it's not 10kHz, 
then what is it if I use the 6kHz filter.   If it's
really not then why 
display it?
