Dear Erwin, I use a RF Splitter to feed the same antenna to both K* and FCDP+ but only for receive tests !!
I've done also some tests during JT65 decoding, using the same set-up, but with a different antenna hi! You can find some results at the end of this site: http://www.von-info.ch/hb9afo/articles/funcube/funcube.htm I dont' use the K3/FCDP+ combination for actual TX/RX use, only for receive tests with the splitter.

Hi dear Rudi, yes so far I learned that a preamp is needed for serious 6m operation with the K3. TNX for your info as well. ***** As you write you use also the FCDP+. How do you use it together with the K3 ? Is there any circuit out there ? Or better is there any hint to connect it to the K3? ***** Would be nice to have such a solution. ***** 73's Erwin/DK5EW Am 31.07.2013 20:54, schrieb hb9...@bluewin.ch: > Hi Erwin, > > I own an "old" K3 (#1212) and a FCDP+ too. > Without a PR-6 (or an other low noise preamp) > i admit that the > > FCDP+ is better on 6m, speaking of sensitivity only. > I bought the PR-6 after the K3, when i was > a little bit > disappointed with the K3 6m > sensitivity. > > My best 73, > Rudi, HB9ARI > > ----Message d'origine---- > De: dk...@mmmonvhf.de > > Date: 31.07.2013 06:59 > À: > "Elecraft Reflector"<elecraft@mailman.qth.net> > Objet: [Elecraft] K3 deaf on 6m comparing to > a FCDP+ ? > > Hi everybody, > > since I own a FunVubeDonglePro+ I think my K3 is a bit deaf comparing > those 2 rigs on same > antenna. > Even with > switched on preamp on the K3 it's sensitivity is worse to the > FCDP+ > I only heard about that the > K3 is deaf on 6m but > never had a comparison. > Is there a fix to make the K3 hearing better on 6m ? > ______________________________________________________________ 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
