[Elecraft] Poor AM audio

[Dale Boresz]

Dave,

The fidelity will improve significantly with the wider filter. Regarding 
the distortion, try backing off on the RF Gain control a bit and see if 
that helps. It does here. You might also find that there is less 
distortion with Synchronous AM detection engaged.

I love the operation on SSB and digital modes BUT, when listening to the DX60 AM net the audio is quite distorted. I started out with the filter set to NORMAL and then made it as wide as possible untill the display reads 5.00. Is this normal to have the distorted audio untill I purchase the 6.00 Khz. filter? I quess I'm disapointed or am I doing something wrong? The operators manual does not say any thing about the distortion, only the fidelity will be increased with the 6.00 Khz. filter.
