I've had mine for several weeks. It replaces a Down East
Microwave (kit-built) unit and works well.
The DEM has -slightly- more measured gain but a bit less
bandwidth at the 3db points. Mine measures 14db of gain
at 50.4 mHz and the -3db points are at 43.8 and 58.1 mHz.
The automatic enabling feature in the software is nice, too.
It's a "quiet" pre-amp. I can't comment about on-the-air use,
as the band's been dead. Am waiting on my 2nd receiver so
I can monitor the band all the time.
The PR6 is beautifully built and in a nice machined housing.
It comes with all needed cabling and even a pair of male-male
BNC connectors in case you want to hang it directly off the
back of the K3 ... I don't!
The only improvement I would make would be to make the
white control lead a bit longer, as it tethers the preamp too
close to the radio, placing it in direct competition with other
cables behind the radio.
