I have a good 6m set-up with a 7 element long yagi and low loss feeder (~ 0.5dB). I am in a quiet (in most directions..) rural area.
Without the PR6 the K3 does not hear quite as well as my Icom 7800 used to. The stock K3 is still good enough to decode some EME QSO's Swapping between the antenna and a 50 Ohm load shows that band noise is sightly higher on the antenna than the load. In my quiet rural location The stock K3 is almost sensitive enough without the PR6 enabled. Turning on the PR6 helps by a couple of dB with the really weak ones but once the PR6 is on the band noise floor becomes the limiting factor. For many in urban locations manmande nose will be the limiting factor, not the sensitivity of the K3 73 Brendan EI6IZ (108 DXCC & 42 US states on 6m) _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
