[Elecraft] Filters for K3

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

13 KHz filter works very well for AM. It provides +/- 6.5 KHz at
IF which is plenty for even the guys with converted broadcast rigs
that are generally +/- 5 KHz.  The K3/K3S DSP and audio brick wall
filters will limit the highest audio frequency to around 4.5 KHz
but you can always use the DSP to further reduce the highest
audio frequency to 2.8 - 3 KHz if needed to limit QRM.

You can further reduce QRM by using the 2.7 or 2.8 KHz filter
in synch mode to demodulate either just the upper sideband or
lower sideband if one sideband is being clobbered by QRM.
