Re: [Elecraft] K3 6M receive performance
My first time on 6M was with the K3 so I really don't have anything to compare it to. That said, I was pleasantly surprised to work some JAs with 100W and a homebrew 2-el moxon at about 20ft. - 73, Greg - AB7R Whidbey Island WA NA-065 On Thu Oct 23 12:03 , "Ken Kopp" sent: >Julian, others ... > >The K3 is ... in my opinion ... quite adequate on 6M.

RE: [Elecraft] K3 6M receive performance
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.
