[Elecraft] Broadcast band interference [KX3}]

I posted a question concerning an issue with broadcast band interference on
my KX3 and received several good replys.  Here's more info on this
issue.....there is a local AM broadcast station about 8 miles away but that
is not the one I'm hearing.  It's sounding like a Shortwave AM broadcast
from some religious station.  Using the RX SHFT as suggested by one person
replying is not a viable option.  When you do that it disables the Roofing
Filter option which I need usually for copying CW signals where I'm having
the problem.

I do have the antenna tuner installed and tuned to the band where I'm
working but I'm still getting the problem.  The signal does vary up and
down in strength so I'm sure it's a Shortwave signal causing the problem.

I can live with the problem most of the time but I would hope Elecraft
could provide an answer to this issue.  How about it Eric or Wayne?  Any
comments from your end?  My KX3 is SN. 564 built by me in June of 2012.
