Lou, I have received no other replies to my message. Additional comments would be welcome.
In attempting to answer my own question, I suspect that the antenna bandwidth on 6M would limit out of band issues. The slightly higher gain of the PR6-10 with the same noise figure then might be an advantage by helping overcome cable loss. At least as long as strong signals are not overloading the front end. I will probably not switch. I presently have a good antenna on 24 and 28 MHz and do not really feel the need for more gain there. Perhaps if I did not have the trusted PR6 I might purchase the PR6-10 instead. 73, John Kh7t Lou, <[email protected]> wrote 7/12/2913: John, did anyone reply to your questions? Have you made a decision? I am also wondering if making making the switch will compromise 6M performance. 73, Lou, W0FK KH7T wrote I have the PR6 mounted on the K3. Did successful JT65 6M moon bounce with 11 element antenna,1000 watts, 110 foot BuryFlex coax, and appropriate switching. So this setup worked. I note that the specification for the PR6-10 has about 2dB more gain than the PR6. The MDS and dynamic range specs are the same. Would the 6 meter performance with the K3 using the PR6-10 be better or worse than the PR6 because of: 1. Wider pass band? More opportunity for out of band noise? 2. More gain? Impact on overall dynamic range and noise figure? My real question is should I sell my PR6 and get a PR6-10? I do not want to lose anything on 6 meters but perhaps could stand some improvement on 10.
