My understanding is that in AM, the BW shown is supposed to be the actual recovered audio bandwidth, not the total bandwidth. There is no reason why it should be restricted to any less than 12 kHz since the DSP IF is 14 kHz wide, and the roofing filter over it is 20 kHz.

Am I missing something here?

If  a DSB AM signal is tuned  with the carrier centered in a 6  kHz BW,
I would expect to see just 3 kHz of audio BW. If you tune the carrier to
one edge, you will be able to get a wider audio BW.

When I tuned in a local AM station and looked at the audio on HamAlyzer it
looked great EXCEPT for one thing.  It was only 3000 Hz wide?  The audio
signal plummeted after 3,000 Hz!




I attempted to measure AM RX audio response with 2.056 a few times,
and in all ocassions it was 3 kHz on both main and sub RX.
RX filters were fully open and RX was fed from a signal generator
having adjustable modulation frequnecy.

Audio response was close to 6 kHz with 1.373b5.
