I use my K3 often on 6 meters. I have no problem hearing stations on 6 meters. I can hear the noise increase when I connect my 4 element 6 meter beam to the radio. So at my QTH, I do not need any additional receive gain. Also the dynamic range is much better on 6 meters then it was on my IC 756 Pro III. Local stations would desense the Pro III. I can't tell they are there with the K3.

The K3 is ... in my opinion ... quite adequate on 6M. I would certainly -not- say it's "deaf". I have now logged a few hundred contacts on the band using my K3 and it's performance is OK. 73!
