[Elecraft] k3s AM receive

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

FWIW, I listen to most SW and any weak AM signals in SSB mode. I have the 6
kHz I.F. filter but only use it on occasionally. IF you pass for now, you
can very easily add the 6 kHz filter later. 

Your best initial investment would likely be the KBPF3A which gives you
optimum receiver sensitivity outside of the Ham bands, especially since you
say you don't have strong signals close by.

I am going to order a K3S and have my filter selection figured out OK for CW
and SSB.  However I want to do a little BCB and SWL listening on AM.  At
this time no plans to transmit AM.  I live in rural Alaska and there are no
strong BCB or SW broadcast stations close to my QTH.  Is there any reason to
equip my my K3S with either the 6 kHz or FM filter roofing filters for AM
reception or will the DSP filter do the job.  I realize that if I want to tx
AM I will need to install the 6kHz filter.  My interests are 99% CW and my
cw filters will include the 700Hz filter which I have already obtained.
Thanks,  Rick  KL7CW
