K3 - 6m Preamp/RX antenna switching

Stewart Baker
 Hi,
As I can only just (sometimes) tell that I have an increase in
noise level on 6m when I connect the antenna, I have decided to
add a preamp.

Rather than wait for the Elecraft design, I will build my own.

I am wondering what is the most convenient way of automatically
switching the preamp when on 6m, and still allow the use of the
external RX antenna input with the KXV3.

I could do a decode of the bandswitch info, but that means more
cabling.

Any ideas ?
