K3 roofing filters

[Larry WD4MBE]

I plan to order my K3 probably in January '08.  
 
Can I use all 5 available roofing filter slots- in my case the FM, AM, 2.8,
2.1 and 1.0 roofing filters- and also have the KBPF3 General Coverage Rx
filter module installed without losing any of the slots for the roofing
filters?  I will not be ordering the sub-receiver.
 
For what it's worth, I wish I could get a power supply/speaker combo as an
option from Elecraft.

Yes.  The KBPF3 is an array of pre-mixer bandpass filters rather than a
post-mixer roofing filter, so it does not count as one of the five
crystal roofing filters.

There are 5 slots in total Larry, so the answer to your question is no.  
I cannot imagine that you would need so many filters so close in
frequency anyway.
As for the PSU/Speaker, Elecraft have mooted that one might eventually
be forthcoming.

Oops, it would appear I was incorrect Larry, sorry :)
