Hello, I have had a different experience with regards to the 6M performance.
I was always told for years that the 6M performance on rx was pretty poor. After I got a K3 recently, I found the internal preamp to be pretty good. But, I had a DEMI 6M preamp, so I installed it in a small die cast box and bought male BNC connectors and made it mate exactly to the back of the K3. Then used the 12 volt out to power the DEMI preamp. The DEMI preamp is better than the internal one, but not by a large margin. With BOTH preamps on, is only marginally better. I plan on adding cutoff relays like the PR6 later. Background: I do weak signal 6M work, with 104 countries worked in 6 years down here in the black hole of southwest GA. Antenna: 7x7 LFA at 120' and 85'. 73's Glen K4KV Moultrie, GA -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Gary Gregory Sent: Sunday, July 07, 2013 6:54 AM To: Fred Smith Cc: Elecraft List Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 6/10M pre-amp I'm not. But I did a post from Elecraft stating it was possible IF enough wanted it. I am over 'add on boxes' for now to fix a problem that should have been done sooner, not later.
