Bob,
Receive should work, but transmit will not - I believe it is restricted
in the firmware.

Yes, many of us know all this, but it's still nice, under benign
conditions, to operate using a wider waterfall for both transmit and
receive. I often operated PSK on my Orion using the 6kHz filter, it's
fun to see pretty much all the PSK activity on the band at once -
context, right? When I've opened up the BW like this I always disable
AGC anyway. When the going gets tough, I narrow the BW.
Since I paid for the 6kHz filter, I'd like to use it on DATA A if I
choose, since there is no technical limitation in the K3 preventing it
AFAIK.

Dave,
OTOH, best results with AFSK is to use a narrow receive filter. It keeps
strong undesired signals out of the passband.
Strong undesired signals in the passband cause a reduction of receiver gain
because the AGC reacts to them.
Sure, the computer can handle and display them, but if the receiver gain is
reduced because of a strong signal that just came on, your chances of
maintaining solid print is reduced.
Do as you choose, but I prefer to tune my data mode signals just like any
other - with the VFO knob, and use a narrow filter to get rid of the 'other
trash' on the band.

I'd like to be able to transmit in Data-A mode through my 6 Khz AM filter.
Being able to see ~6 Khz of spectrum in the waterfall window would be
great.
