Excellent! It also relieves the clutter at the back of the K3 and makes
installing a preamp for 160/80 receive antennas cleaner.
It would need to be programmable variable gain to accommodate differing
noise floors on the different bands.

I think an internal preamp for the highest bands (say 15/12/10/6 m) is a cool
idea. I'll take a look at that (no promises, yet).
Like other K3 options it would have to be compatible with all existing K3s,
which suggests putting it on the KXV3 module as a user-installable daughter
board (etc.). Meanwhile there's the PR6, which provides truly excellent
sensitivity.

You are assuming the internal K3 preamp is adequate on 6m in the K3. The
reason for the PR6 is that the internal preamp is not adequate for very weak
signals (I intend to do 6m eme and ms). Of course if you mean the PR6 is
installed internal to the K3 then I suppose it would work.
The current configuration is "bolt on" ready and no need for an internal
installation of the PR6 (or my preamp).
