I'm a little late to this thread because I receive the digest version of
the reflector, but I thought I would weigh in anyway ;-) I don't know if
it matters that much on 6m, but the blocking IMD of the FCDP+ doesn't
compare in any way with the K3. My tests show about 80dB before onset of
blocking (at least on HF where I tested). That's probably about 40dB
worse than a K3 with high quality preamp.

Hi Erwin,
second that. I use the Extra-6 by HA8ET for the K3 and you already have an
Extra-2 so you know their quality. ;-) Besides this it is way cheaper than
the PR6 by Elecraft. ;-)
