[Elecraft] K3 possible new option

[David Gilbert]

Yes, Brian explained in a private message that that was part of his 
concern.  It sounds like he actually wants two independent transceivers 
since he wants to be able to transmit on either.  There are some 
admittedly clunky ways around that as well, though.

The sub has its own set of ham-band band-pass filters, its own optional KBPF3 option (general-coverage filters), and up to five crystal filters. It also has an identical sub receiver and DSP. It is literally the same as the main receiver in every respect.
