[Elecraft] K3 6M operation

[Mike Harris]

G'day Mike,

Control of the K3 internal pre-amp is independent of the PR6.  That 
is you can have neither, either or both. You should be able to hear 
the difference.

RX ANT will switch the PR6 and PRE will switch the K3 internal 
pre-amp.

If you are switching the PR6 using the CONFIG DIGOUT 1 setting note 
that you have to enable it for each ANT if you have a KAT3 
installed.  You might not always use the same antenna port for 6M. 
This wasn't mentioned in the PR6 paperwork and I had a deaf moment 
until I figured that one out.

You can select CONFIG: DIGOUT 1 and toggle the ANT to check that 
both are On.

I trust that answers your question.

Regards,

Mike VP8NO
