Thanks Joe for clearing that up. I had read and read and still
could not sort that one out.
Thanks Leroy AB7CE

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] KFL3A-6K-IR Filter
Band width was 6k Hz, offset 0. When I turn the band width knob I
only get a spread of 5k. Any suggestion would help.
This is normal. The "BW" display shows the audio bandwidth not the
IF bandwidth. Audio bandwidth is defined as FC + WIDTH/2
In the case of [double sideband] AM, the IF bandwidth is twice that
of the audio bandwidth. Thus a "6 KHz" filter provides roughly 3 KHz
of audio bandwidth at -6dB (the filter is nominally 6.125 KHz wide
between the -6 dB points - about 7.5 KHz at -30 dB and 9.35 KHz at
-60 dB) and rolls off rather quickly above 4.2 KHz due to the audio
lowpass filter that follows the digital to analog converter.
If you change Shift/Width to High/Low you will notice the maximum
setting for "HIGH" is 4.2 KHz - a design limit in the DSP due to the
clock frequency of the digital to analog converter.

I have just installed a new 6K AM filter in my K3s. I configured the
filter by computer, and checked using CONFIG . Band width was 6k Hz,

Any suggestion would help.
The filter was put in slot 1.
