This sounds like a lack of creative thinking. How about using two 90

put the preamp anywhere... even in the next room is that is your

Also, you might try one of the 50+ preamps that are already available
by
a
variety of companies with ultra-low noise figures. I'm not sure I
need
a
preamp to take up the space of my existing 2 meter module.

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Combo pre-amp
Agreed Gary,
I too would be interested in an internal 10M pre-amp (or an internal
combo
6-10M pre-amp).
I already have the PR6 but like you say it (in stock form) protrudes
so
far
out behind the rig that it almost impossible to use for portable work.
Mounting it internally is the way to go and I reckon a combo pre-amp
would
sit nicely where the internal 2M transverter normally goes.

Well I do hope there will be a version for 10M perhaps that will
install
within the K3. Much as it would be nice to have I am not going to buy
more
boxes needing to be plugged in, cabled or whatever.
Whilst I understand some folks have space available and can wire in
as
many
boxes as are available, those of us who operate portable tire very
quickly
of sorting cables, boxes and the resultant tangled leads.
I guess I will have to wait and see what is produced but another
external
box such as the 6M pre-amp which protrudes too far and can easily be
knocked around is a non starter for me no matter that I could use it,
it
is
what it is, a box too far.
