Sounds good! I would suggest ordering the largest 6m yagi you can fit on your
tower. If a 6M5XHP is the largest you can swing around, then you should still do
very well on multi Es from your prime location there on the East Coast! I hope you
can get it all running next month so you are ready for DX by June 1!
It also looks like you have a clear shot (no ground clutter) to the west, so please
let me know when you are set up with the new yagi and PR6 and I would be happy to run
a JT65A mode sked with you during your moonset ;-) GL and VY 73, Lance

I'm just getting going on 6m with my K3/KPA500/KAT500. I'm getting ready to
order a M2 6M5XHP. My feedline consists of 150ft of LDF5-50 to the tower
then about 40ft of Buryflex in the tower run and various pigtails. So my
feedline losses should be relatively low.
Based on various threads I've decided to go ahead and get the PR6 but want
to make sure I understand how to use it. It appears that it is bypassed
completely by the K3 on the transmit path to the KPA100 which then goes to
the KPA500 and KAT500 then to the antenna.
On receive the path back from the KPA/KAT is passed thru the PR6
automatically as long as it is powered and the RXAnt is selected for 6m.
So no fancy additional cabling required other than Power/Digout1 and the
RXin/RXout pair.
My Beverages will just connect now through the PR6 supplied input.
All good?
