Hi Bob,

As Greg (AB7R) mentioned, it isn't possible for the K3 to provide 
coverage in the vicinity of our first I.F., 8.215 MHz. We felt that 
this was a small price to pay, given our primary goal of offering an 
excellent ham-band transceiver. However, all other bands of interest 
for general coverage from 0.5 to 30 MHz can be tuned. If you have the 
KBPF3 option installed (on either or both receivers), its filters will 
automatically be switched in to cover the gaps between the narrow 
ham-band filters. But even without the KBPF3 you'll have useful 
sensitivity in shortwave broadcast segments near ham bands.
