    Synchronous AM detection is only offered in a few ham transceivers: the Flex series, and older models such as the Yaesu FT-1000MP. I wish more manufacturers offered it, as I am an avid AM operator.

    I could be wrong but it feels like the Teletron bandwidth is +- (written in the label) so 6000 is actually 12000 Hz bandwidth, while the Watkins 6000 Hz is equivalent to Teletron's +- 3000 Hz. That is why you can hear the 5 kHz tone in the Teletron (it passes the filter) but not in the Watkins.

    In AM it is plus or minus because you are using both sidebands. In SSB the number is actual because you only use one side band. Thanks again for your help

Literal brick wall filters. for selectivity and blocking out stuff you don’t wanna hear that is close by, nothing can beat that.

    "Red. Träger" is short for Reduziert Träger, so yes, "reduced carrier". Ohne Träger is "without carrier." "Sperr-Filter" means "blocking-filter" so is a notch filter. "FB" is short for "Fernbedienbar" which means Remote Control so there must be a port on the back for remote control. "Abstimm-impuls" means something like "voting-pulse" so could be the port for an external error-correction device or decoder for encrypted transmissions. Upper 2 switches on right: Left one looks like a three-step anti-clipping / overload switch and the right one LOOKS like a three-step variable-bandwidth switch but you already have 8 dedicated switches for that already so I'm not sure. WHAT LETTERING IS UNDER THE "Div." switch, is it "aus"? It could be a decimal-point switch for the display. This unit cost 50,000 DM brand new (27,000 USD) when it came out. Motorola now owns the company.
