[Elecraft] [K3] AM Bandwidth

[Joe Planisky]

Hi Rick,

Yes, that's normal.  The displayed bandwidth is audio bandwidth.   
Remember that AM uses both sidebands, so the 6 kHz filter passes 3 kHz  
above and 3 kHz below the carrier (6 kHz total).  Your resulting audio  
bandwidth will actually be somewhere around 3 kHz.

You can get more audio bandwidth on AM receive by using the FM filter,  
which is about 13 kHz wide, but you can't transmit AM through the FM  
filter.
