[Elecraft] Combo pre-amp

[Wayne Burdick]

I think an internal preamp for the highest bands (say 15/12/10/6 m) is a cool idea. I'll take a look at that (no promises, yet). 

Like other K3 options it would have to be compatible with all existing K3s, which suggests putting it on the KXV3 module as a user-installable daughter board (etc.). Meanwhile there's the PR6, which provides truly excellent sensitivity.
