[K3} KXV3B's extra preamp on 160m RX?

[Guy Olinger K2AV]

Is there a way to select the KXV3B's extra preamp for use with low band RX
antennas. I am in the spot of putting a separate preamp in line to do what
the 10/6 m auto extra preamp already does.

I've already been digging for something like that in doc and manual but
can't find anything, so if someone knows where the relevant material
resides, or what the secret word for searching that material is, I would
appreciate that greatly. I am probably the world's worst scratch searcher.

Many Thanks & 73

Hi Guy,

You can only use PREAMP2 on 17 - 6 meters.  You can activate the 10 dB preamps in the Main and Sub receivers that can be in the chain of the receive antenna.

Cheers,

Fred KE7X

Firmware 5.58:
* PREAMP 2 (ON KXV3B) NOW USABLE ON 15 AND 17 M: PREAMP 2 improves noise figure by about 6 dB on 15 m and 3 dB on 17 m relative to PREAMP 1.
Cheers,

Fred KE7X
