[Elecraft] K-3 or XV50 transverter for 6m EME

[Evert Bakker (PA2KW)]

Wim,

If 1 dB noise figure is the aim, I would make one myself (sure better NF,
most probably cheaper).

73', Evert PA2KW

Active on 144
Preamp NF 0.15 dB (MGF1302 - YU1AW design)

Hi Wim,

There will be a dedicated 6m pre-amp soon available for the K3 (to be
connected between the 'Ant in' and 'Ant out' connectors of the KXV3 option).
I am not sure what the NF will be, but I think they are aiming for a value
around 1 dB or better.

I have the prototype of this pre-amp and that already gives a noticeable
improvement over the stock, build-in pre-amp.
