Not quite. If you want FM transmit/receive you must add the KFL3B-FM (FM Filter). If you want AM transmit you must add the KFL3B-6K (6 KHz filter). AM receive is possible with significantly restricted fidelity using the stock SSB filter. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Don Wilhelm > Sent: Tuesday, October 07, 2008 3:43 PM > To: James Young > Cc: elecraft@mailman.qth.net > Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 Initial Configuration? > > > James, > > You can order the basic K3/10 and it will do all modes.
