FM?

[Jim AB3CV]

I use my K3/100 mostly for CW and a bit of SSB. I've done some digi as well
a couple of times and may eventually do more.

I was wondering about the utility of an FM filter. I realize it can be
useful for SWL AM and I have the general coverage filters to do so.

I'm completely unfamiliar with HF FM however. I live in Northern Baltimore
County in MD and wonder if there is any FM activity on 6m or 10m. I'm
assuming that FM isn't a DX mode.

If there isn't any ham utility I wouldn't get it just for BC reception
since I don't do that very often and find the SSB filters are adequate for
that.

Hi Jim;
FM is a DX mode, and 10m FM can be very interesting when open (and
frustrating!).
