[Elecraft] K3PR6 Preamp

[Edward R. Cole]

I opted to purchase the P50VDG GasFet preamp from Advanced Receiver 
Research, which worked fine.  Somehow I blew the Gasfet so have to 
repair it (uses mgf-1302).  Recent reports from a local net are that 
I am received S9+ while I struggle to hear the local (70-mi away) 
station running the same power (100w).  The K3 even with PRE turned 
on is not very good on 6m and an external preamp does wonders.  I 
found it best to run the K3 with PRE off if using an external preamp.
