The PRE icon pertains only to the K3's internal preamp. I suggest
turning it off in most cases when you're using the PR6. Otherwise
you'll have more gain than necessary, possibly degrading dynamic
range. (With the PR6 on -- giving you an MDS of about -144 dBm --

Hi Mike,
The PRE setting is already stored separately in the RX ANT on and off
cases, on a per-band basis. (This is also the case for the K2.)

Just push the PRE button while RX ANT is enabled. That toggles it on/off
for the RX ANT path. It is remembered separately for this path.

I installed the PR6, hooked up to the control line. I set up the CONFIG
menu. When I put the rig on 6M, and tap RX ANT to turn on the PR6, the
display shows RX and PRE.
Is the other preamp engaged at the same time? The PRE on the LCD can be
toggled by tapping the PRE button.

Hi,
Well I just completed my first 6M contest this past weekend and found it quite
good.
There was some time ago a lot of comments on the K3's sensitivity on 6M.
The result was Elecraft produced a pre-amp and not much comment has been seen
since.
If anyone on the list is a 6m operator with a
Hi Gary,
You DEFINITELY need to use a high gain low noise external preamp if you are
interested in any weak signal work on 6m. If all you are interested in doing
on
6m is woring strong Es or TE signals, then you can obviously get by without it.

I've got the preamp, but my antennae have been on the ground since I got
the K3. Going back up this weekend, and I'd definitely like to hear what
people have to say about it, so I'd appreciate the discussion being held
