I had the same thought when ordering my K3, but I chose the FM filter instead of the AM filter. That will give me sufficient bandwidth for good quality AM RX as well as FM TX/RX. It's more likely that I'll use FM TX on 10m or 6m than AM anywhere.

You need it if you want to listen to an AM stations full bandwidth.
You'll not hear the entire transmitted signal without it.  You'll be
able to hear talk stations or something like that just fine but for
listening to music you'd probably find it lacking. Hopefully this helps
you in making your decision.

Hello elecrafters,

Thanks for your configuration support.
