Jim Mine seems to be as good as any radio that I have owned except for the K3 without the external one. I have been making many 6m QRP contacts SSB with my KX3 to date 47 total in the last several weeks, using a small yagi.
If I were going to work weak signal usually not much done QRP a mast mounted preamp would be in order. 73, Fred/N0AZZ K3 Ser #'s 6730/5299--KX3 # 2573--K2/100 # 6470-KAT100 P3/SVGA--KPA500--KAT500--W2 -----Original Message----- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Jim Brown Sent: Wednesday, June 19, 2013 9:43 PM To: Reflector Elecraft Subject: [Elecraft] KX3 - Does It need Preamp for 6M? We may use a KX3 in a very quiet mountaintop QTH on FD. Does it need a preamp for 6M? Notice that I said a VERY QUIET location. 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ----- No virus found in this message.
