[Elecraft] Using PR6-10 with KPAK3AUX

[Oliver Dröse]

Ted,

the K3 remembers the state of RX ANT per band! So there's no need to 
manually switch it on and off all the time you change bands! My 6 m 
pre-amp is on all the time but the RX ANT state of the K3 is only put in 
on 6 m, not the other bands. This has nothing to do with the cabling. 
The cabling only takes care that the PR6(-10) internal relays are 
switched thru to allow an external RX antenna being used on other bands. 
So once again: if you do not use RX antennas (i.e. on the low bands) 
there's no need for the cabling from AUX to the PR6(-10) at all. Just 
switch it in on 6 m and be done. ;-)
