[Elecraft] Trade off PR6 vs PR6-10 pre-amp

[Don Wilhelm]

Olli,

I agree if the frequency is higher than 6 meters, but at 50 MHz and 
down, the cable loss does not appreciable degrade the noise figure 
(unless the feedline is exceptionally long).  That does not equate to 
those frequencies above the 50 MHz band.

The real answer depends on your particular situation (antenna gain and 
feedline loss).
