Fw: PR6 6 Meter Preamp Installation

[Ken Kopp-3]

 My PR6 is connected with two 6" BNC <-> BNC cables.
Connecting it using two "double male" BNC's seems
like certain damage, sooner or later. (;-)

True, Ken.  However, my ultimate request was whether anyone has investigated
the possibility of putting the PR6 totally *INSIDE* the K3?

We designed thePR6 to mount with the double male BNCs and sell the
BNC-MM's just for this purpose. Its quite strong and we have never seen
a problem using it this way.

Of course you can also use short lengths of Male-Male BNC cables to do
the same thing.

I don't see an easy way to mount it inside the K3.

Terry:  Another thought - I haven't ordered a PR6 yet but am planning to
shortly.  Since I have minimal space behind the K3 on the operating shelf
for cables etc I am planning to mount the PR6 to the double male BNC's on
the back of the K3 but also use a pair of right angle BNCs as well so that
the connectors from the PR6 will point up.   I haven't done any other
measurements yet and it may cause interference with the plug from the
microKEYER II going to the RS232 connector.  If it does I'll have to use the
short length BNC to BNC cables as indicated by Eric.

Thought I'd mention it as a possibility.

I just mounted mine and find the connections to be very strong, almost too
much so to get them on.  The issue I have is getting a Y connector for the
PR6 and other needs. I would love for Elecraft to offer one of these, Eric.
I have everything factory installed in my K3 except general coverage.
Working on getting it all hooked up and working.  Have also order the P3.
(Would love to Beta.)
