Because this is a general interest topic, I'm responding to the 
reflector. YES, unless you live in a really noisy QTH, you 
definitely need an external preamp on 6M. Since I'm an OT on that 
band, I already owned an ARR GaSFET preamp, and simply plugged it 
into the RXOUT/RXIN patch point. It works quite well, and I'm sure 
that the preamp that Elecraft sells does too.
