[Elecraft] K3 BC Reception

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

Before we get synchronous AM receive we need the ability to 
transmit AM and ESSB using the FM (13 KHz) filter.  That would 
avoid the need to tie up two slots with both the FM (13 KHz) 
and AM (6 KHz) filters.  I've checked both AM transmit through 
the 13 KHz filter (calling in 6 KHz in the filter configuration) 
using the SDR-IQ as a spectrum analyzer and receive (with AGC 
off) 30 KHz away from a 50 KW (daytime) AM station only two 
miles from me and there are no detectable transmit or receive 
image issues.
