One more hint needed, 6 meter preamp

Gil WA5YKK
Appealing to the experts;

   With foggy head, I'm trying to get the idea of what coax connection
goes where on the 6 meter preamp module. I gather that the 6 meter
antenna is connected to J3, then obviously the BNC connections on the
other side go to the matching connectors on the K3, but the text is
fuzzy after that  - I don't register what goes to J1.
   Could those whom have mastered this one item give me a hint? (The
Elecraft text has too many speed bumps in it that lead me nowhere, for
some reason!)

Thanks, 73's

Gil,

I assume you are using this preamp with the K3 equipped with the KXV3 or
KXV3A.
Take a look at the rendering on page 3 of the PR-6 manual, and make it
look just like that.
Whatever is currently connected to your RX ANT IN and OUT jacks is
removed and the PR-6 connects to those jacks using BNC Male to Male
connectors.  Then plug whatever you had on the RX ANT IN/OUT jacks onto
the PR-6 bypass jacks.

73,
