[Elecraft] PR6 Clarification

I'm just getting going on 6m with my K3/KPA500/KAT500. I'm getting ready to
order a M2 6M5XHP. My feedline consists of 150ft of LDF5-50 to the tower
then about 40ft of Buryflex in the tower run and various pigtails. So my
feedline losses should be relatively low.

Based on various threads I've decided to go ahead and get the PR6 but want
to make sure I understand how to use it. It appears that it is bypassed
completely by the K3 on the transmit path to the KPA100 which then goes to
the KPA500 and KAT500 then to the antenna.

On receive the path back from the KPA/KAT is passed thru the PR6
automatically as long as it is powered and the RXAnt is selected for 6m.

So no fancy additional cabling required other than Power/Digout1 and the
RXin/RXout pair.

My Beverages will just connect now through the PR6 supplied input.

All good?
