The preamp is on or off per-band and per-antenna. So for example you could have it on with the rx antenna and off with antenna 1 and on for antenna 2 on a given band. Possibly when you turn the rx antenna on or off you are also changing the state of the preamp, and that is what the ham pod is announcing.
In this situation, you would see both rx and pre appear on the screen if both were on.

When I press the Pre-amp button the Ham Pod annunces "Pre-amp enabled/ disabled" depending on which press of the button is active.
