[Elecraft] K3 deaf on 6m comparing to a FCDP+ ?

[Keith Heimbold]

I use a separate 6m preamp for the K3. Helps out tremendously. With the advent of the new PR6-10 on sale, you can pick up a PR6 off the reflector for sale. I recommend it highly if you want to use the K3 for weak signal work.  I also use a Collins laboratory preamp from Dr Jack Smith (he is on this reflector) and that works great on 6m plus HF.

Good luck!
