The 6m preamp, when available, is meant to help in those cases where a 
lower noise figure at the receiver input (or lower receiver temperature 
if you prefer to think of it that way) coupled with the required 
additional front end gain to provide that lower noise figure, would be 
expected to provide improved receive performance as determined by the 
station system design.

Your 6m receiving system may or may not benefit from this.  It depends 
entirely on your station's design and where the K3 as a component fits 
into that design.
