Sam, You need a Y cable. Make certain it has all 15 wires connected 'straight through'. A VGA Y cable will have several pins connected together and will not work - it may even create 'strange happenings'. If you ordered the KPAK3AUX Cable Set, you have the Y cable that was part of that

The pre-amp bridges the antenna output to the RX in. You can use antenna 1 or antenna 2 for your 6 meter beam but in receive, you should select the RX antenna. Jack WA9FVP Willco Electronics - Jack WA9FVP Sent from my TRS-80 :-) -- View this message in context:

Hi All I am thinking of buying this accessory but I am a bit confused.! I use a 4-El SteppIR beam for the HF bands as both my receive transmit antenna with my K3. Would I need to set up a separate receive antenna to use the PR6-10 Preamp or can I use it with my existing TX/RX antenna? Ray

Ray, It fits neatly between the RX in and out BNCs on the back panel. You then select the separate receiver input via the RXant button of the front panel. I am away from the K3 at the moment but that is what I did successfully with an ANC noise reducer once. I too am thinking seriously about

Ray Stephen, And of course you will need the KXV3 or KXV3A board in your K3. Further, when you press the RX ANT button for 6, 10, and 12 meters it will be remembered so that you don't have to push it each time you use those bands. And lastly, the preamp is activated by a single wire connection

Ray, The short answer is no - you do not need a separate RX antenna, but it can also be used with an RX antenna if desired. If you do not already have it, you will need to install the KXV3 or KXV3A option. The instructions for connecting and using the preamp are in the Preamp manual. 73,

If you mean with the preamp on, yes the noise goes away. It sounds sort of like wadding up paper...not so much a whosh. It's such a big jump on 10 12, not so much on 6. I haven't been aware of much noise since the last visit from the power company. Mike On Jul 29, 2013, at 9:24 PM, iain

Yeah, so I think that you might get some benefit from the preamp on 6m (although if you have a S1 noise level without it, probably limited benefit), but no benefit on 10m and below (unless your noise level varies, and just happens to be bad today). 73, ~iain / N6ML On Mon, Jul 29, 2013
