The 2010's can be modded for narrower filters for AM. Mine came that
way. It's a used-rebuilt, so I was able to spec that. Alas the fellow I
bought it from didn't seem to have a clue about the FM IF's ( and at
the time, I didn't have any extra filters. The writeup is very
unhelpful in terms of even locating the FM filters physically. I bought
the 2010 for AM DXpedition use, and it's been great -- I'm just very
concerned that I might open it up and start working on it and do
something careless and ruin the whole thing. I'm afraid my modification
skills are still stuck in the hollow state era.
