If you have a pet larger than a goldfish, you should probably put it
into standby. Unless your pet is licensed to transmit.

Just measured the power consumption of my KPA500:
Standby 10 W / 16 VA
Operate 12 W / 16 VA

"It all depends on where it is measured. It is switched after the measure

Yes indeed. In the PA module PA voltage and current are measured before K4
which is controlled by "60V ENABLE".
It all depends on where it is measured. It is switched after the measure point,
so you will see a proper reading in both STBY and OPER.
It is not applied to the PA in STBY, though.

My kpa shows HV 76 both in standby AND operate. Drops to 61V, key down, 500W
output. AC line input drops from 124 to 122V at same time.

You are putting it into standby two places. Don't you mean "operate" for the

I have a K-Pod button dedicated to turning VOX on and off.

I have a Kill A Watt meter. Plugging the kpa 500 in with front switch off draws
7 watts. Standby draws 12 watts and operate draws 13 watts. 500 watts out on
20 meters draws 1,140 watts.
Hope that helps.

I do not think there is any harm in leaving it in operate. If you are
really "pinching pennies" on the electric bill, you might find a small
advantage to switching it to standby.

I am in and out of the shack all day with various nets and ragchews. Is there
any advantage to putting the amp into standby between QSOs...or should I just
leave it in operate?
