[Elecraft] K3 6-meter Performance Question

[Terry Schieler]

Fellow Elecraftorians:

 

Some weeks back I recall a post here that the K3 6-meter performance did not
seem to be up to par with its HF band performance as well as that of some of
the other HF thru 6 rigs on the market, and there was some related
discussion regarding a future accessory receive pre-amp for six.  If I
recall correctly, Wayne or Eric popped in to state the reason for the
difference in performance, so it was, apparently, a documented situation.

 

I have searched for the specific posts with no avail.  But it leads me to
ask whether I should hang on to my XV-50 transverter (which I had planned to
sell) or use it with my K3 for its improved performance.  Has anyone done
this?  I’d be interested in your comments.

 

73,
