[Elecraft] K3 on 10

It seems to me the K3 receive could use more punch on 10M. I had fun on 10M
CW last weekend during the contest and it reminded me that I used to use a
CB set to check for skip on 11 meters, thus probably an opening on 10M.

That got me to listen on 27MHz with the K3 and the receive sounded low
compared to the CB set I was using via an antenna switch. Exactly like it
could use a preamp. Which come to think of it is how SSB 10M on the K3
sounds to me also.

I haven't tried 6M yet, but perhaps if that preamp could be made to cover
28MHz also, it would be a good combination.
