Re: [Elecraft] Advantage of KBPF3 in K3?

One more use for the KPBF3 is for use on the 600m band (not yet a ham band but one can obtain an experimental license - see link, below). The K3 will tune down to 490-KHz with pretty good sensitivity if you have the KBPF3 and KXV3 transverter option to connect Rx ANT in. I have run under

What would be the advantage of adding KBPF3 to both the Main and the Sub? You can put the main and sub on different bands (when CONFIG:VFO IND = YES). So having a KBPF3 in the sub would let you use a ham band with the main RX/TX while using the sub RX to monitor an the AM broadcast band, a
