Forgive me if I've missed this, but why can't one use channel linking when the GAIN is on BASIC? this would be so useful.

Paul Isaacs has mentioned that this will be addressed in a future firmware update...

thanks!!

Sounds like at least a few places got new batches in today. Trew in Nashville also got some more in today as well but I believe have shipped/sold them all already.

Got my Anker 20100 PowerCore+ today. I followed the link from the Sound Devices website to the Anker website and from there followed a link to their Amazon store. On Amazon they have "Customers who bought this item also bought" which has an Anker usb-c to usb-c PowerLine+ cable. Link to Anker's website for that cable can be seen here: https://www.anker.com/products/A8187091
I purchased that cable as well and it powers the MixPre3 just fine with the powercore battery; the connection is snug and firm and the quality of the cable is excellent (nylon braided)!
Here is a pic of it on my MixPre3 to show how far out it sticks:

Does the cable wiggle up and down while connected? Looks nice.

^^^
Trew Audio in Nashville contacted me yesterday to tell me that my MP-6 is on the way...

Thanks GDfan for the battery cable link!

No it does wiggle at all.

In a Nova 4 with the F8, and the MP6 alone.

I now see firsthand the potential issue with the USB input. Def wiggle room. Have ordered the red cable listed above.
