[Elecraft] 6/10m Preamp
When I bought my first K3 I also had my FTDX-5000MP in the shack and compared the 2 for over 4 months side by side using a YL-1000 amp with a radio A/B button. The amp had 4 antenna inputs so was very easy to compare both radios on an even playing field. As most all of you know the 5000 rates just above the K3 on Sherwood's and ARRL's lists for receiver performance but I was one that always had to see for myself after building a K2. I did speak with Eric or Wayne about this at that time and was told that could be addressed easily and would be...Wahoo here it is now and I have it installed. Very early on 2 things became quite apparent about the K3 it had poor receive on 6 and 10m where the 5000's was excellent and I did like the NR a little better on the 5000. But after 4 months side by side I decided to sell my 5000/VL-1000 amp/Mu Tuning units and a bunch of other gear. One thing I might add was the K3 I tested with was a stock base K3/100/2.7 filter/ with an IF out transverter interface. Ordered another K3 loaded with every option/ and the complete line including the amp and tuner with an Alpha for legal limit. I received my new 6/10m preamp yesterday morning and installed it. I had been using my IC-9100 for 6/10m as it has excellent preamps in it. There was a lot of 6m and some 10 traffic yesterday and in the evening. The Elecraft 6/10m does improve the K3 quite a bit over what it was for sure hope to know more in a few days but so far a vast improvement. Thanks again Elecraft for responding to your customer requests! 73, Fred/N0AZZ K3 Ser # 6730--KX3 # 2573--K2/100 # 6470-KAT100 P3/SVGA--KPA500--KAT500--W2 __ 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

Hi Fred, I noticed on the specs that the preamp frequency range is 22 to 54 MHz. Have you tried it on 12 meters? 73, Mike K2MK Fred Smith wrote I received my new 6/10m preamp yesterday morning and installed it.

Eric, will the new preamp have the same numbers on 6M as the PR-6?
