Using the FM filter does no widen ESSB or AM ... the bandwidth of
those modes is determined by the DSP modulator.  The only thing
the 8.215 MHz crystal filter does is to provide some additional
protection against transmitting the 8.245 MHz image (and according
to Wayne, provide some additional rejection of very low level
DSP/mixer noise).  In any case, the 13 KHz filter is *still* tight
enough to eliminate the image - else it could not be used on FM
either.

In my case, the K3's main RX is "full" of filters - 13 KHz, 2.8,
1.8, 400 and 200.  I can not use AM or ESSB (if I wanted to) without
telling the K3 that the 13 KHz filter is really 6 KHz wide.  That
seems to be a significant headache and makes either FM or AM/ESSB
unusable for those who, like me, have a "full" K3.
