I purchased the General coverage Bandpass filters because I also like tolisten

I don't know who you consider to be the big 3. Some oh-not-so-old
Kenwood radios are excellent on AM. The Orion I/II is truly an excellent AM
transmitter (I owned 3 of them, and even now they aren't exactly
I use AM mode from time to time. If AM is eliminated, CW will be next.
AM and CW modes are making a resurgence, and both can be accommodated.
I'm glad that Elecraft included AM in the K3.

Jim, you said:
For us old-timers here, if R.L. Drake focused on AM when they designed
and released the Drake 1A (targeted for the SSB mode), they would have

Yea, Drake did. They did not adapt to the market. And they are long gone.
Drake followed the path of performance (especially receiver, look at the R7
series and R8B as an example) as opposed to the path that the market wanted,

I never seen the point of the CW decoder.
If I'm going to use a decoder I may as well just use RTTY or one of the PSK
modes.

The 1-A is one of my five all-time best radios. Small, simple, a game-changer,
got the job done. It's a delight to use.
Drake didn't leave the Ham radio market because of AM, or focus on AM, or lack
of focus on AM. They probably left because in the end they couldn't price
compete with

The Big 3 gave the market what they wanted, and Drake died a slow death.

Other than the apparent offset between Sync-L and Sync-U, the K3 does
a pretty fair job of supporting AM TX and RX within the limits of the
6 Hz AM filter. The question is whether they should bother to support
