Did anyone notice the kind of steathy product announcement, of a 6M preamp
for the K3 in Toby's excellent "K3 Test from Bavaria"?  I recall it being
tossed around as a posibliity, but don't recall seeing anything since (?).

>From Toby's review:

*Wayne: The K3 has a fairly low-gain preamp. It is designed to improve
MDS to -136 dBm or better without compromising dynamic range any more
than necessary. Your later tests show that it is working as intended. I
should mention that we also have an external K3 6-meter preamp product
in the testing phase right now. It attaches directly to the RX ANT IN
and OUT jacks, which can be selected on a per-band basis. It improves
**6-meter MDS to better than -142 dBm.*

For us 6M enthusiasts, THIS is exciting news!   That, with a great noise
blanker, should make my 6M efforts even more fun.

Looking forward to hearing more on this option!
