The solution that elecraft showed at Hamcomm was an external unit that plugged into the k3 back panel

My opinion is the an internal option for this preamp is needed. Dangling still another box with the attendent extra cables outside the K3 isn't desirable here. Yes the preamp does handle the LF rx antenna-- still more complication. Perhaps Elecraft can come up with both an internal and external fix and let the market decide. I'd like nothing better than pushing the preamp button and getting a souped up 6M preamp without more external junk. However Elecraft knows the guts of the K3 and perhaps an internal fix isn't practical. At least it would be nice to know that. 73 de Brian/K3KO _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
