Ted,
the K3 remembers the state of RX ANT per band! So there's no need to
manually switch it on and off all the time you change bands! My 6 m
pre-amp is on all the time but the RX ANT state of the K3 is only put in
on 6 m, not the other bands. This has nothing to do with the cabling.
The cabling only takes care that the PR6(-10) internal relays are
switched thru to allow an external RX antenna being used on other bands.
So once again: if you do not use RX antennas (i.e. on the low bands)
there's no need for the cabling from AUX to the PR6(-10) at all. Just
switch it in on 6 m and be done. ;-)

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.

Save the money, Ian! Configure it as always on (jumper) and just
activate it thru the RX ANT button.
Of course this is only an option if you do not want to use any RX
antennas for other bands connected to the PR6-10 ...
