First, how have you determined that you will need EQ for AM? With the
stock SSB filter you won't get AM to sound good. And with the 6 kHz AM
filter, that depends largely on the type of mike being used and your
mike technique. I use the same mike and mike technique and EQ for SSB
as I do for AM. Yes there are separate EQ settings stored for SSB and
for AM. I use the 6 kHz filter for AM and get excellent audio reports.
I find the better way to evaluate ones audio is to use a 2nd receiver
and record the audio from that receiver while transmitting into a dummy
load. I use Audacity as a free recording application. Then playback
and listen. Judge for yourself what sounds good. Others may have poor
hearing, bad room acoustics, and no telling how their receiver is
adjusted. Don't bother to use headphones and the monitor system as it
will not be true due to bone conduction of sound through ones head.
{Radio guys use headphones to hear network cues and end of music or
other program material, etc. and not to listen to themselves. Unless
they have a giant ego. }
If you should ask on the air about your AM audio and EQ within an AM
group, you'll receive as many comments as there are stations on the
frequency plus 1.

So let me start out by saying I am a CW guy but listen to the AM guys on the
weekends.
Reminds me of when I just got into ham radio back in 1968. They guys were on
1805 here in Chicago area.
I have not yet bought the 13kHz filter so I am strapped with what I have in it
now, stock.
Can anyone tell me how to set-up the transmit TX EQ for AM?
As I understand it, the EQ set-ups are specific for SSB and AM, separately.
I have SSB set-up where I have presence but just cannot get AM to sound good.
