** K is a measure of the  *potential* for an RF amplifier to oscillate.

A K value less than one means that oscillation possible, with the right 
combination of input Z and load Z.

 ** The BP filter eliminates a whole *range of values* for input Z from
the 
game  -  so eliminates the main cause of possible oscillation.
