Dave et al:

I have the 6.0 kHz AM filter in my radio.  Yes the DSP BW goes to 5 kHz.   However in using the P3 I find the total bandwidth as shown to be about 8 kHz or +/- 4 kHz of center frequency.     In synchronous AM you will have 4 kHz BW either USB or LSB depending the Shift setting.

Dave,

That is not a problem, but a result of AM modulation.

The filters work at the IF passband.
The 5kHz is the audio bandwidth.
For an AM signal, the IF bandwidth must be twice the audio bandwidth - there are 2 sidebands, and the audio width is only equal to the width of one sideband.

You could try synchronous AM receive.

Good evening all,

I installed the 6 KHz filter into FL1 on the main receiver today.  I did
not put one in the sub receiver.  To do this, I had to move four filters
from slots 1 thru 4 to slots 2 thru 5 in both receivers. So now I have 6
KHz in FL1 in the main Rx, no filter in FL1 in the sub receiver and FL2
thru FL5 match widths in the main and sub receivers.  I made the
appropriate entries in the gain and setup menus.  Checking them on several
bands shows that all appears to be in order.

However, in the AM mode I can only widen the passband to 5.0 KHz.  Is this
normal operation, or have I missed something?
