Ed, I have the shortwave board in my K3 - the 2.8 khz would definitely be too narrow - I run a 6 hhz and it is still pretty narrow - The FM 12 khz would be best for fidelity if that is what you want - I have noticed with the 6 khz roofer in AM the DSP goes out to 10 khz! Both my 850s have 15 khz wide roofers and 12khz IF for AM and they sound superb! The 6 khz is very satisfactory for listening to voice, but tight on music!
I would love to get a second K3 and may if things look good later this fall! 73 and Good Contesting!
