No, except that you're limited to 5 crystal roofing filters per 
receiver.

See above -- only five crystal filters per receiver. You can set them 
up differently, if you prefer. For example you could put a really 
narrow filter only on the main receiver, and put an FM filter only in 
the subreceiver. In any case you can add filters incrementally.

You'd only need two KBPF3's if you wanted general coverage on both 
receivers.

None whatsoever. The KBPF3's filters are switched in only when needed, 
and added strays are completely negligible. The KBPF3 mounts just above 
the main band-pass filter array.

Don't we wish  :)

Most engineering staff members were redirected to the K3 project, which 
actually started before the amp, and which we decided should be 
finished first. But we'll go back to the amp as time permits. Sorry, 
can't give you a date....
