I have overhauled the rig which did not have an AM filter fitted. I acquired a filter because the AM broadcast was sounding poor. I have fitted the filter, first removing the resistor and cutting the resistor on the control board according to instructions here.

There appears to be no difference is sound when switching between wide and narrow on AM. On SSB, you have to have the switch set to wide to hear anything on narrow all you get is a hiss.

I don't think this is normal. What should the switch do on AM/SSB?
Thanks
