Hi Bill.  Yes, the K3 works wonderfully for MW AM listening - performance
pretty much limited by your antenna.  You will want to use the RX antenna
input, which has better sensitivity than the other inputs at these
frequencies.  You already have the needed KBPF3 bandpass filters.  I would
recommend the "FM" (not a typo) filter if you will be doing much listening.
It will give you a full 5 KHz audio bandwidth, which is nice at times.   You
will of course also have the synchronous AM option available for more
demanding situations.   The P3 is also great on the BCB!
