Should Elecraft supply a 6m preamp as an option for the K3? Yes, I
think you should, because third-party preamps are notorious for having
far too much gain. To preserve the K3's reputation for high dynamic
range on *all* bands, it would be best to keep the gain/NF tradeoffs
for 6m under factory control. Obviously this option is not a high
priority; but it certainly would be worthwhile.
Thanks for the suggestions, Ian. We'll look into this.
I should mention that the operator would be able to turn the K3's
regular preamp off when using the external preamp, if desired (and/or
turn on the attenuator). Thus there would be a full range of possible
NF/dynamic range tradeoffs under convenient operator control. (The
on/off state of both the attenuator and regular preamp are stored
per-RX ANT switch state.)
