This may be an overly simple response and I appoligize. Whoever is having this RX problem from 500-700 kHz AND has the KBPF3 installed, is the KBPF3 set to ON in the CONFIG menu? It needs to be ON and then cycle the power.

A later post from Dave informed us he did have the KBPF3 general coverage filter module installed. This concerns me. There is an AM station on 630khz about 100 miles west of me in NC that I like to listen to during the daytime on my Yaesu FT-920. The problem with the Yaesu is that I get blow-by from a 600khz station that is located about 10 miles from me. I was hoping my upcoming K3 would eliminate this problem for me. I sometimes listen to WSM 650khz, Nashville, TN, in the evenings, but the Yaesu does ok for that station. I am not ordering a K3 just for AM broadcast band reception, but it sure would be nice if I could hear the lower end of the broadcast band with some rejection from stations close by to me. Would some of you current K3 owners please check and see if you can hear anything between 500-700 khz. Also, do you have the KBPF3 installed and use the AM filter? Many thanks and Happy New Year!
