Do the KBPF3's count as one of the five roofing filters?


If the KRX3 is present and multiple transverters are connected to the
K3, will it be possible to transmit with one transverter while receiving
with another transverter? For example, would it be possible to transmit
on 2m while receiving on 70cm? I'm wondering about satellite operation.

This is a much nicer surprise than an amp, in my opinion! It looks like
everything I wanted in a K3, and a lot more. :-)
