In general, ensure the coupled energy into the receiver antenna connector is less than 1 watt under absolute worst case conditions, and preferably under 100 mW, and your receiver should be OK. Put another way, the antennas should be separated by 40 dB if running up to 1 kW, 30 dB if running

Re: [Elecraft] Receiving AM on the K3 - Odd behavior

If you use Sync AM mode, the K3 is single (selectable) sideband on AM. The bandwidth you see displayed is NOT the DSB bandwidth, it is the bandwidth of the ONE sideband that is being received. So if you open the bandwidth display to say 4 kHz, in sync mode, you are receiving one sideband, with
