Robert,
I found that in SOME (but not all) cases,  enabling the mode noted below helps:
MCU 1.84 / DSP 1.28, 1-4-2014
 
* AM BROADCAST BAND (BCB) RECEIVE OPTIMIZATION:  If you have a KXAT3 ATU 
installed, you can select one of two optimizations for reception below 1300 
kHz. While in the ATU MD menu entry, tap '1' (PRE) to select either BCB NOR 
(the original setting, which reduces the amplitude of received harmonic 
images), or BCB=160 (a new setting that may improve receive sensitivity by 
using the 160 meter ATU settings even below 1300 kHz). BCB NOR is recommended 
unless you need BCB=160 in order to copy a weak AM station. You can also 
improve sensitivity by using higher preamp gain settings (use the PREAMP menu 
entry, which is per-band
