NR4C's advice on an additional filter if you plan on doing much SW or MW
listening is good, and something I overlooked in my first response. While
you can achieve quite good results using USB or LSB in conjunction with the
2.7 KHz roofing filter, a wider filter for use with AM RX will be more
satisfying if you plan to do much of it. But I would recommend the 15 KHz
"FM" filter for this purpose rather than the 6 KHz filter. Only get the 6
KHz if you plan on TRANSMITTING on AM. For RX, the 15 KHz filter will allow
you to obtain the full 10 KHz bandwidth on BCB stations. And, you can
always narrow it, as desired, by using the DSP filter.
