[Amps] FCC Denies Expert Linears' Request for Waiver of 15 dB Rule

[Fern Rivard]

I have an early K3 and don’t see any need for a pre-amp for it on any of those bands.
I just checked the sensitivity with my service monitor to verify that.

The Elecraft K3, K3S, and KX3 are excellent performers on 6M, although 
the K3 needs a preamp for 12, 10, and 6M. They sold an outboard unit for 
the K3, but it's built into the K3S and KX3.

The major reason why transverters are the popular option above 6M is 
that even most of the dedicated VHF/UHF transceivers weren't very good. 
Anyone who works those bands seriously uses transverters with very low 
noise preamps.
