Bill, in AM, try tuning 1-2 KHz higher or lower than carrier frequency. Works for me (more highs) cuz I have only a 2.8 KHz filter for other-than-cw modes. 73 Dave W8FGX Guys, Just got done assembling my second K3 and this one has a 13 Khz SNIP -- View this message in context:

[Elecraft] Shortwave filters for K3

2009-05-03 Thread Bill Maddock
Guys, Just got done assembling my second K3 and this one has a 13 Khz filter where #1 had 6 Khz - I like to do shortwave listening - thought the wider filter would give better fidelity, but DSP only goes 5Khz wide is there a mode for this? I assumed with the 13khz roofer it would be opened up

Bill, The 5 kHz width indicated for AM is the *audio* bandwidth, not the IF. The IF bandwidth must be more than 2 times the audio bandwidth for an AM signal - so your 12 kHz filter is good. Remember that the 6 kHz filter must be used for AM transmit. AFAIK, most broadcast stations limit

Steve, Please do not be confused. The DSP *is* at the IF frequency, *and it does* process AM at the full bandwidth for all modes as required. The AM bandwidth *used to be* displayed as the IF bandwidth, but many were confused because it was double the bandwidth that could be heard - so it

Frank, 13 kHz comes quite close to the 15 kHz DSP IF, so using the 13 kHz roofing filter for AM transmit exposes the possibility of transmission at an IF image as well as the desired frequency. As I recall, that was a wish expressed by someone, but I also recall the Elecraft designers saying
