Many thanks for all the thoughts and information people have offered on this issue! If in addition to the extra high pass filtering the KX2 has RX SHIFT permanently enabled, that certainly explains why it's immune to AM breakthrough. It sounds like it might be worth trying a 3Mhz low pass

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 AM breakthrough ()

Wunder, The KX3 does have high-pass filtering integrated into the T/R switch, like the KX2. But it starts rolling off below the 160 m band. The KX2’s rolloff starts somewhat higher, as you noted. 73, Wayne N6KR > On Aug 11, 2017, at 11:53 AM, Walter Underwood wrote:
