Re: Topband: Need advice for K3 and RX BC AM

[Rick Stealey <rstealey@hotmail.com>]

The K3 sensitivity falls off severely below 160 meters.  But if you have the IF 
option (KXV3)
which provides a receive antenna port it does not have the filtering, and there 
is plenty
of sensitivity over the whole band (0.5-1.7 MHz).  The KXV3 is very useful for 
160 meter
use as it allows use of a Beverage.  
You should be able to make your signal level/readability tests without a 
seoarate AM 
filter.  I just checked on my K3 and sensitivity falls off very fast below 1.6 
MHz.
