Received 3 HD15 M/F gender changers, pulled pin 11 out, attached it the end of the KPA500 control cable, and now the KBPF3 and KPA500 work perfect! Should now be able to use a receive only antenna on 80. My vertical is OK, but it can be noisy.

Subject: KBPF3 and KPA500
I installed a KBPF3 option, and it works OK, mostly. I also have a PR6, so I am trying to use the BYPASS connector of the PR6. I have pulled the jumper in the PR6, so the BYPASS would would work. And it does, as long as my KPA500 cable is disconnected. When I connect the KPA500 control cable, it seems power is ALWAYS applied to the PR6, rendering the BYPASS not connected. DIGIOUT1 is off on all bands, except 6. When I disconnect the KPA500 control cable, all works as it should (except the KPA500). What am I missing?
