I don’t think the AM transmit bandwidth relies on the filter to set its limits. Even with the 13KHz filter, bandwidth is limited by the DSP. The option to use the 13KHz filter was, as I recall, a change made by Elecraft quite some time ago. While there are many opinions, there is no

Yes true, however I don't suggest using the 13 kHz filter for AM transmit in view of transmit bandwidth considerations.    The 6 kHz filter is more appropriate and thus does limit the transmit bandwidth to the required limits of the regulations.  97.101(a) 73 Bob, K4TAX On 12/9/2018 7:15

Or the 13 kHz filter. Both the 6 and 13 kHz filters can be used for AM. 73, Mark, WB9CIF -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net On Behalf Of Bob McGraw K4TAX Sent: Monday, December 10, 2018 01:09 To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] AM operation

Sure, works great.  As configured for SSB switching to AM mode runs about 125 watts of carrier from the KPA500.   No different than operating SSB, just switch the K3S to AM.   Must have the 6 kHz filter installed. 73 Bob, K4TAX On 12/9/2018 4:03 PM, Michael Blake via Elecraft wrote:

Anyone have any experiences or suggestions for using the K3s, KPA500 and KAT500 on 80 meter AM? 73 - Mike - K9JRI __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm
