[Elecraft] KX2 in AM mode

[Wayne Burdick]

The KX2 has general-coverage receive, including all popular AM SWL broadcast ranges. While it doesn't directly support AM demodulation, you can use USB or LSB to copy AM. This works really well. You can choose the sideband that has lower QRM, and widen the AF passband out as far as 4 kHz (equivalent to an 8-kHz AM filter). You can turn on the auto-notch to remove adjacent-channel carriers.

AM is also on the wich-list as a possible future [free] firmware upgrade.
