Bill,

The 5 kHz width indicated for AM is the *audio* bandwidth, not the IF.  
The IF bandwidth must be more than 2 times the audio bandwidth for an AM
signal - so your 12 kHz filter is good.

Remember that the 6 kHz filter must be used for AM transmit.

AFAIK, most broadcast stations limit their transmitted audio to 5 kHz,
so you are not likely to obtain much better fidelity than the K3 DSP
currently allows.

73,
