[Elecraft] KBPF3 Option - Main and Sub Receiver

[Scott Manthe]

Welcome aboard!!

You only need the KBPF3 if you want to listen to frequencies outside the 
amateur bands. My recommendation would be to remove the KBPF3 from the 
KRX3 and move it to the main receiver, but if you want general coverage 
RX in both receivers, then you'd need to install one on both receivers.

The KBPF3 has nothing to do with the K3's ability to listen to two 
separate bands simultaneously, only with general coverage RX, so with 
the K3 with the KRX3 installed, you can monitor six meters on one 
receiver and 160 on the other, if you'd like.
