G'day, Just received my PR6 (6m pre-amp). I've set it up for CTRL from the ACC socket (Config: DIGOUT 1 - On), that is it is switched on only when switching to 6m. All works very well, I see a 7-8dB improvement in antenna noise and a subsequent improvement in received signals.
The 6m antenna was on ANT:2 of the KAT3 when I set it up. My Acom 1000 was on ANT:1 and the hf beam. When I swapped the Acom onto the 6m antenna and selected ANT:1 for 6m the RX was deaf! A whole bunch of testing later I discovered the CONFIG: DIGOUT 1 signal is not common to both ANT:1 and 2 you have to set it for each selected antenna. When I set CONFIG: DIGOUT 1 for ANT:1 everything was OK again. This might be well known, however, I've not spotted it in any documentation, certainly not in the PR6 manual, so if it is an undocumented feature, beware.
