Unless you have a AC power management strip which is controlled
remotely, then shutting down the station can be done by several means.
There is the remote capability to turn off or shut down the
transceiver. Likewise for the KPA500, there is remote capability to
turn it off or shut it down. However, that only shuts down the control
system and not the power supply. Likewise, your transceiver. Does the
power supply stay on all of the time and you only shut down the
transceiver? Again, it depends on how you are controlling your remote
system and its power distribution.
As to shutting down the Elecraft equipment. Perhaps for some degree of
lightning protection or power surge protection exists where shutting
down is defined as adequate. But what about antennas and other
equipment and the station grounding system. How are those systems handled.
To me for remote operation which I have, there is means to shut down
each piece of equipment correctly and then a means to shut down the AC
power to the remote station. I don't bother to disconnect antennas.
And this leaves the station equipment at some value of risk.

I've read this whole thread and I'm confused. I control my KPA500 and KAT500
remotely. When shutting down my station is shutting down the Elecraft
equipment adequate remotely?
Thanks ES 73 DE TIM WB8HRO
