Fred,

Have you looked the K3 IF Output mod? https://ftp.elecraft.com/K3/Mod%20Notes%20Alerts/IF_Output_Buffer_Gain_Mod_Rev_A.pdf

If you don't have the 13k SMD resistor or a 1/8 watt 13k resistor, you can order the kit from Elecraft.

Good afternoon Wes and all,

If I connect the antenna directly to the QSR-1, I get the same signal level
as the K3s.  But, when I connect to the QSR-1 to the IF-out, the signal is
about 4 s-units less.

Any ideas...anyone?

I use an SDR-IQ on the i-f output on my (very) early K3S.  it works fine.
IIRC,
always a dubious proposition, I did the mod on my original K3 and it
worked well
too without any additional amplification.  I think you have another
problem.

Good afternoon,

I have successfully connected my QSR-1 to my K3s if-out, and immediately
noticed the signal strengths showing on the QSR-1 were much weaker.  I
probably have an early K3s, so the if-out signal strength is even weaker.

Any recommendations at a good preamp to use?  It seems like 20db is what
I
need:
