[Elecraft] K3 Filter Question

[Brett Howard]

I forgot to go back to that...  I was thrown off by the comment on the
order page that said you only need one of each filter for transmit.  I
know that doesn't fully say what I was hoping for though....

I wonder if there is any possibility of allowing AM TX and/or ESSB via
the FM filter...  As I'd like to have maximum flexibility but only have
one slot left because of the way I have setup the radio for what I spend
most of my time doing.

Thanks for the assistance gentlemen.
