I just bought the PR6 and added it to my K3 last week. I just connected it to
the back using the bnc barrel connectors that came with it. Seems very secure,
but I would probably remove it when transporting the rig. Makes a huge
difference on receive.

had this DEMI pre amp before the purchase of K3.

This would be great.
Under power noise, P3 does not show weak signals even if K3's NB works well.
NB in SDR-IQ and apparently in PowerSDR work very well so it can be done.

I have a W1 watt meter, which I probably purchased just before the W2

I would suggest if you do that, to use the cathode of D12 for the source
of your voltage. That is turned on/OFF with the K2 power switch.
The K2 maximum current (CAL CUR) is normally set to 3.50, and the
internal fuse is rated at 5 Amps.
The difference is 150 ma, but I would suggest

There are probably a lot of things that could go wrong. When I did my

You might copy and paste your code to the list for inspection.
Oh, yes! I used to have my PR6 installed directly to the rear panel with
the double male connectors. Since my station interconnect is pretty
complex and uses essentially every connector on the rear panel, every
time I needed to access something back there the preamp was extremely in
the way.
I haven't purchased a PR6...yet. I wonder if anyone has successfully
installed the preamp INSIDE the K3? It sure would be slick to do so.
