Hi Marc, The K3 automatically selects the lowest-frequency low-pass filter available based on the VFO frequency. It also automatically chooses the optimum ham-band filter or KBPF3 filter.
The list of frequency boundaries is quite long. Suffice to say that we carefully optimize filter selection to preserve the K3's excellent IMD characteristics, especially IP2. (This refers to the radio's ability to reject images resulting from incoming signal sum/difference products; this is very important for SWL use.) 73, Wayne N6KR On Apr 22, 2011, at 11:31 AM, Marc wrote: > I am an avid SWL'er and use the > K3 to listen to SW broadcast stations > and wefax. > > Somewhere posted are the curves > or ranges that the general coverage > receiver offers.
