You can receive BCB AM using the stock 2.7 or 2.8 KHz filter but you must receive the AM signal as if it was USB or LSB and zero beat the carrier. Doing so will give you significantly restricted frequency response - barely good enough for "Talk Radio". 73, ... Joe, W4TV On 6/25/2016 2:37 PM, Rick Dwight wrote:
I am going to order a K3S and have my filter selection figured out OK for CW and SSB. However I want to do a little BCB and SWL listening on AM. At this time no plans to transmit AM. I live in rural Alaska and there are no strong BCB or SW broadcast stations close to my QTH. Is there any reason to equip my my K3S with either the 6 kHz or FM filter roofing filters for AM reception or will the DSP filter do the job. I realize that if I want to tx AM I will need to install the 6kHz filter. My interests are 99% CW and my cw filters will include the 700Hz filter which I have already obtained.
