My question is this; when I select AM mode, is this filter in the signal path or is it bypassed?
In the signal path.
If I were to add the 6 khz filter, would AM mode fidelity improve?
Most certainly. While you can receive 2.8 KHz AM with the 2.8 KHz filter *IF* you enable the synch detector, the 6 KHz filter will give you about 3 to 3.5 KHz audio with the normal envelope detector. > I only care about receiving, not transmitting. If you only care about receiving, consider the "FM" (13 KHz) filter. That one will give you ~4.5 KHz audio with the envelope detector and allow you to transmit AM if you ever want to do so as well as transmit and receive FM (above 29.5 MHz, 6 meters and 2 Meters with the 2M transverter if you chose to install it). 73, ...

The widest filter in my K3 is the 2.8 kHZ in the main receiver. It also has the general coverage accessory for SWLing.
