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.

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,
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.
