Any owners of this new radio here?
I am wondering if you are hearing any (audible) difference when you
switch between the wide and narrow bandwidth settings in AM mode.

Thanks for your answers.

"RK",

Thanks RHF. *I am looking for other users' experience. *My unit comes
from Radio Labs, with the filter upgrade (their so-called, "Clearmod"
modification).
The difference when I switch from AM wide to narrow is almost always
inaudible and, for all practical purposes, does not make any
difference without detuning the radio
in slow mode. *I wonder if owners of the stock radio experience the
same.
(The Radio Labs people think this is the way the radio is supposed to
work, which I found puzzling and surprising)

RK,

If you have a Very W-I-D-E 'Wide' IF Filter +8 kHz
and a not-so-wide 'Wide' IF Filter ~4 kHz you may
NOT hear or detect too much difference between the
two when it comes to AM-Mode Radio Reception.

However, If you have a Standard 'Wide' IF Filter
~5 kHz and a Narrow IF Filter -3 kHz you may well
Hear a/r Detect some real difference between the
two when it comes to AM-Mode Radio Reception.

What "kHz" and "Shape Factor" Rad-Labs 'claim'
for their Wide and Narrow IF Filter in the
Mod'ed Sangean ATS-909XRadio ?

Hi RHF,

Radio Labs claims they have used 4.5 KHz for wide and 2 KHz for
narrow. *As I said in my response to Dave, one should be able to hear
the difference between these pretty easily (for reference, my Drake
SW8 has 6, 4 and 2.4 KHz bandwidths, and one can hear the difference
between all three pretty well, especially in going from the middle to
the lowest bandwidth because the narrowest filter muffles the audio
distinctly). * I just wanted to hear about other users' experience,
wether they have the stock or modified radio.
Thanks for your reply.

You can try this simple test I just thought of . A) Tune to a
loud,stable AM-modulated station . B) Turn the SSB on . C) Play with
USB/LSB setting . D) Detune the received frequency slightly ( no more
than 1-2 KHz) ,so you hear the beat sound increasing or decrease in
the pitch . E) Play with the wide/narrow setting . F) If the filters
are really there- -the change must be very obvious .
