[Elecraft] Using PR6-10 with KPAK3AUX

[Dauer, Edward]

I do it without the Y cable as well; but there is one drawback to having
the preamp ³always on² - when it¹s in the circuit on 40 and 80 it actually
degrades the K3¹s performance (or at least mine does).  So, when switching
down to those bands I have to remember to toggle RX ANT off, then back on
going back to 10 or 15 (where the PR6-10 works very well.)  I am not sure
of this, but I think the preamp can be set on a per-band basis using the
cabling and removing the jumper, but not on a per-band basis by using the
front panel RX ANT switch.
