[Elecraft] K3s AM filter

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

Dave et al:

I have the 6.0 kHz AM filter in my radio.  Yes the DSP BW goes to 5 
kHz.   However in using the P3 I find the total bandwidth as shown to be 
about 8 kHz or +/- 4 kHz of center frequency.     In synchronous AM you 
will have 4 kHz BW either USB or LSB depending the Shift setting.

73
