[Elecraft] KBPF3 General Coverage Receiver -- Main or Subreceiver

[Bruce Beford]

	Agreed. Perhaps another argument for placing it in the main RX, as
The sub RX has to be removed to install it. Best to get that out of the way
while you have it open... If you add a second one later, in the subRX, that
module would need to be pulled to install the BPF3 in it.
	Also, with the (potential) new allocations for 137 and 475 KHz,
these may well become "main band" RX/TX functions in the future. (Of course,
the filter mods currently being beta-tested will need to be installed, and
some form of outboard TXPA driven by the transverter interface added for
those bands to get the full benefit...)

My reasoning for this:  You'll always have the main receiver enabled
but probably not the Sub-Receiver.  Few of us run them both 100% of
the time.
