[VHFcontesting] 6M on the K3s...

[Marshall-K5QE]

Hello to all K3s gurus.....Bill-N5YA wants to use his new K3s for the 
primary 6M radio on our DXpedition to Zone2.  I think that the generally 
held knowledge on the K3 was that it was deaf on 6M, hence the special 
preamp that one had to install on the back.

Is the K3s also deaf on 6M or is this problem now a thing of the past??

IF the K3s is still poor or weak on 6M, can we install an EME class 
preamp on the back where the Elecraft preamp would normally be 
installed??  I believe that there is NO transmit power between those two 
BNC connectors.  I had a K3 for a bit and I know that you have to find 
the menu choice where you turn on the 6M preamp, so I assume that would 
have to be done using a non-Elecraft preamp.

Can someone help us here, please?  Any other information that I need to 
know?

I know that the K3 and K3s are both good radios for HF and we may be 
doing a bit of that too, but since our primary effort with this radio 
will be 6M, I wanted to be sure we could hear....

Thanks for any help...
