Jeff: You are too logical!! Wideband for strong signals, narrowband for
weak signals. Almost all AM signals in Nebraska are weak so I
guess that makes me "narrow minded". By the way, there are several
systems that automatically adjust either audio or IF bandwidth
depending upon signal strength (AVC) or signal to noise ratio.
I have used both until DSP came along. Good luck in your discussion.
