I suggest that you defer judgment on this until you're trying to
copy very weak signals during a band opening. The additional preamp
at the patch point (in my case an ARR) definitely DOES improve RX
sensitivity at times when the external noise level is low. I'm not
suggesting that the ARR is better -- indeed, I doubt that it is.
But it was bought and paid for when the K3 showed up, and it works
fine. :)
