I am not into listening to short wave much or AM radio but I wanted it
for getting news/WX when traveling on a DX-pedition and for an
occasional basket ball game I like to listen to from the home QRH on a
distant AM station that takes my antenna farm to drag in.
If I add the AM 6 khz filter I will be up to $130 + $125 = $255 to do
that so I am going to try and get by with the 2.8 khz since I have zero
interest in transmitting AM. In Australia it was a big deal to listen
to there HF radio WX frequencies when we were mobile as it was still
hurricane season and we put in a long day of travel to get by a
hurricane which is a good thing to do if you have good info and a stupid
thing to do it you are not keeping constant tabs. In Australia you
don't turn inland on any kind of Oil road many places.

Ed,
I have the shortwave board in my K3 - the 2.8 khz would definitely
be too narrow - I run a 6 hhz and it is still pretty narrow - The FM
12 khz would be best for fidelity if that is what you want - I have
noticed with the 6 khz roofer in AM the DSP goes out to 10 khz! Both my 850s
have 15 khz wide roofers and 12khz IF for AM and they sound superb!
The 6 khz is very satisfactory for listening to voice, but tight on music!
I would love to get a second K3 and may if things look good later
this fall!
73 and Good Contesting!
