YES, unless you live in a really noisy QTH, you definitely need an external preamp on 6M. Since I'm an OT on that band, I already owned an ARR GaSFET preamp, and simply plugged it into the RXOUT/RXIN patch point. It works quite well, and I'm sure that the preamp that Elecraft sells does too. 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
