[Elecraft] PR6-10

[Cady, Fred]

Hi Mike,
That just means your preamp is powered up all the time. You can check that by turning off DIGOUT1 for one of the bands and tapping RX ANT. It's no big deal to have the preamp powered up all the time, I guess, but it does mean you cannot use a receive antenna on another band, such as 160 meters. The preamp has to be off so an external receive antenna will switch through the preamp.
73,
