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.
