[Elecraft] PR6

[Mike Harris]

G'day,

Just received my PR6 (6m pre-amp).  I've set it up for CTRL from the ACC 
socket (Config: DIGOUT 1 - On), that is it is switched on only when 
switching to 6m.  All works very well, I see a 7-8dB improvement in 
antenna noise and a subsequent improvement in received signals.

The 6m antenna was on ANT:2 of the KAT3 when I set it up.  My Acom 1000 
was on ANT:1 and the hf beam.  When I swapped the Acom onto the 6m antenna 
and selected ANT:1 for 6m the RX was deaf!

A whole bunch of testing later I discovered the CONFIG: DIGOUT 1 signal is 
not common to both ANT:1 and 2 you have to set it for each selected 
antenna.  When I set CONFIG: DIGOUT 1 for ANT:1 everything was OK again.

This might be well known, however, I've not spotted it in any 
documentation, certainly not in the PR6 manual, so if it is an 
undocumented feature, beware.

Regards,
