I also went with 3-ft cables for the PR6. I used a couple of these:

Mark,
I have the PR6 and it works very well. I would -not- consider
hanging it off the back of the K3 via M-M BNC's. Mine's
connected via two 6 BNC cables.

Mike,
I just bought the PR6 and added it to my K3 last week. I just connected it to
the back using the bnc barrel connectors that came with it. Seems very secure,
but I would probably remove it when transporting the rig. Makes a huge
difference on receive.

Oh, yes! I used to have my PR6 installed directly to the rear panel with
the double male connectors. Since my station interconnect is pretty
complex and uses essentially every connector on the rear panel, every
time I needed to access something back there the preamp was extremely in
the way.
I haven't purchased a PR6...yet. I wonder if anyone has successfully
installed the preamp INSIDE the K3? It sure would be slick to do so.

There's a more reliable way of doing this. Turn on the dBV measurement
facility on the K3 and turn off the agc, reduce rf gain a bit. Arrange for
50ohm resistor noise to indicate 0dB and then substitute the 6m antenna and
see the difference.
BTW the preamps won't be below a 290K source -

I suggest that you defer judgment on this until you're trying to
copy very weak signals during a band
What is the noise figure of the K3 on six meters?
On SSB bandwidth I barely hear a noise increase when I switch from a dummy
load to my antenna.

The noise figure of the preamp itself is typically 0.5 dB.

I also added the GaAsFet 6M preamp to the station and it makes a HUGE
difference on Six.
It needs to be pointed out from time to time that whether the PR6 makes no
discernible difference or a HUGE difference depends on one critically
important variable: YOUR NOISE
