[Elecraft] K3 filter switching in AM mode

[Don Wilhelm]

Wolfgang,

The width displayed is the audio width.  An AM signal has 2 sidebands, 
so it is twice as wide as the audio frequency displayed.
If you want to listen to AM in a 1.35 kHz width, then it is possible, 
but there will be few highs, and will likely not be intelligible.

You can use SSB mode to listen to one sideband of the AM signal.
