It's easy, sell the Omni VI and buy an Omni VII. Much better in all
aspects. Or if that's too many "George Washington's", then go for an Eagle
with the 6 KHz filter for less $$. Even has a better receiver and great
audio for both TX and RX.

Now if they just had a way to do AM on my Omni VI but that would be a huge
stretch !!

If this of any help, this is from the Ten-Tec website and found in the
knowledge base:
Tuning instructions for AM Operation with the Onmi VII
Return to knowledge
base
1. Set the power output to the desired level. Key the transceiver with
the
microphone and the DSP will automatically set the
carrier to the proper level (this will initially take a few seconds).
Peak
output of an AM transmitter is 4 times the level of the carrier, thus if
the
power output is set for 100 watts, the carrier will be 25 watts, power
output is
set for 50 watts then the carrier will be 12.5 watts etc…
2. Speak into the microphone and adjust the microphone gain until the
ALC LED flickers on voice peaks. If
the microphone gain is adjusted beyond the point where the ALC LED
flickers on voice peaks, then
distortion can occur. It will be helpful to monitor the audio with the
monitor
or an external receiver
3. Adjust the transmit roll off and transmit equalizer using the
monitor or an
external receiver for the most pleasing transmit audio. The microphone
gain
might have to be readjusted for ALC after these controls
are set. Bandwidth is automatically set by the DSP. The
speech processor is not active on AM

While I haven't measured it in some time, I seem to recall the info
that
Barry stated is correct for the AM mode.

I might be wrong, but I believe the AM tx bw is fixed (3KHz audio,
6KHz wide am signal) and the bw and roll off controls are ignored in
AM.
