Will the K3 transmit with an FM filter?

k7ua
I have a K3 with an FM filter that I use on 2M.  It receives AM fine with this filter.  Will the K3 transmit decent AM while using the FM filter?  It appears to work.
Thanks, Bryce K7UA

Bryce,

The answer is yes, but if you are going to do a lot of AM transmit,
spring for the 6kHz filter.

Yes, no problems.  Some will say there is some extra low level noise
outside the 6 KHz bandwidth that the wider filter does not clean up
but it's already less than the phase noise of YaeComWood - I would
not worry about it.
