That, plus the K3's multi-section 6-meter low-pass filter (assuming you're connecting the PR6-10 between RX ANT IN and OUT). > The slightly higher gain of the PR6-10 with the same noise figure then might > be an advantage by helping overcome cable loss.

We had some requests for 10/12 meter coverage and realized we could create a PR6-10 with a few circuit changes, but the rig's sensitivity on these bands is adequate for the vast majority of operators. * * * Earlier, KH7T wrote: > > Would the 6 meter performance with the K3 using the PR6-10 be better or > worse than the PR6 because of: > > 1.

The differences in specs will be insignificant in nearly all cases. > My real question is should I sell my PR6 and get a PR6-10? Only if you need to hear butterfly wings flapping 10,000 miles away on 10 and 12 meters. 73, Wayne N6KR ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
