[Elecraft] K3, PR6 bypass question

[Cady, Fred]

There is a problem with the relative impedances on the DIGOUT1 pin when connected to the KPA and KAT500s that pull the signal low and keep the PR6 turned on.  You have to clip that pin in the cable going to the KAT and KPA (I forget which one it is, maybe pin 10?).
Cheers,

Subject: [Elecraft] K3, PR6 bypass question

I can not get the PR6 to bypass?
I have been using my K3 and PR6 for awhile but I have not tried connecting a receive antenna to the PR6 until recently when Wayne said to use the K3 receive antenna port for 630 meter receive.  I pulled the jumper P2  in the PR6.  I have the 15 pin connector that comes with the PR6 connected to one side of the Y 15 pin ACC connector from the K3, other side of the Y goes to the KPA500, KAT500.  And I have the DIGOUT1 set on for 6 meters only, all other bands it is off. If I pull the 3 pin power, ctrl connector from the PR6 it goes to bypass and receive ant works fine.  Read through the manuals, did not see what I am missing?
Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you  73 Emory  WM3M ______________________________________________________________
