Hi Rich,
There's a very broad variety of receive-only preamps on the market. I use the many Advanced Receiver Research P1-30/20VD preamps in my station and I've always been very pleased with their performance from 160 through 40 meters. Because they're broadband preamps, they should have a simple receiving bandpass filter ahead of the preamp. www.advancedreceiver.com/page46.html If you're a technically inclined amateur there's an excellent overview here: ac0c.com/main/page_homebrew_preamps.html 73 Frank W3LPL ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rich" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, April 27, 2020 3:26:20 AM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] RX Ant K3 Preamp vs External Preamp I was talking about RX antennas, like Beverages and such, so mainly 40m and 80m. I am happy with the K3 pre-amp I was just curious to what others use Thanks Rich On 4/26/2020 20:12 PM, Bob McGraw K4TAX wrote: > The internal preamp in my K3S does an excellent job on 6 meters.
