Windy, The stock K3 comes with one 2.7khz filter and that's a hardware limitation.
The firmware cannot help this. So, you will need a 5.0 filter (AM), a 13 filter (FM), or one of the variable hardware filters that should be available in the next couple of years from Elecraft. I use the FM filter and it may also be usable in AM transmit. I know its good for FM and SWL.

I would rather not be required to buy the FM xtal filter to get the full bandwidth on AM. Will this change with future revisions?
