[Elecraft] Wider bandwidth while listening to AM SW on the KX3?

[Don Wilhelm]

The KX3 is designed as a Ham Band receiver as the primary 
consideration.  It includes filtering that is practical for Ham Band 
operation.
Yes, it does provide full general coverage receive,  but the design 
parameters are not primarily for SWL wideband audio response.  The 
general coverage aspects are a nice add-on, but are not the primary 
focus of the KX3.

However, in the shortwave bands (above MW BCB) there are many broadcasters using 12 to even 15 KHz of spectrum these days.  China, Cuba, Russia, and others have all adopted a very hi-fi sounding very wide bandwidth in the past few years.
