[Elecraft] K3/P10

[Chuck Smallhouse]

Since the E team hasn't yet put a P10 or P6/10 out for Beta testing, 
and probably won't for some time, might I suggest an excellent alternative.

Advanced Receiver Research produces a whole series of pre-amps or 
LNAs from 0.1 MHz to over 900 MHz.  If you  are in need of a 10M one, 
they have a couple of choices that cover 28-30 MHz, with lower than 
you'll need noise figures.  The one with the lower 15db gain is, 
<$50, and the higher 24dB  gain one is <$ 80.

To prevent minimum loss of the K3's dynamic range, you might want the 
one with the lower gain.  Either one's size is about 1/2 of that of 
the P6, and they are well constructed.

I believe that Ed, KL7UW , uses one of these for his 6M pre-amp, 
check his web site.

You can order them directly from the manufacture.
