Jim, Yes, switching between digital and SSB modes on the KX3 is troublesome from the requirements imposed by the single Mic input jack and the single headphone (SPKR) jack. For convience in switching between Data modes and speech modes, you will have to go with the K3 which has independent p

Jim, It is important to realize that the K3 bandwith is equal to the audio bandwidth. The K3 reports the audio bandwidth. A K3 with a 6 kHz filter is limited to a maximum of 3 kHz audio because an AM signal is double sideband and the IF bandwidth for the AM signal must be twice the audio freq

Fred, The audio CODECs in the K3 have a 12 kHz sample rate. This puts the maximum audio bandwidth at 6 kHz. Practical limits of DSP filtering in the context of the K3 implementation limit audio to 4.5 kHz or so. Aliasing around the 12 kHz sample rate of the CODECs required that “brick wall”
