Jim, The K3 has many elements that are computer-like, and those processes must be shut down in proper sequence. The power switch accomplishes that feat nicely. If you turn off the power supply, it is like pulling the plug, and the K3 will be turned off, but you may find a problem when you try to turn it on again because some bits get scrambled.
Would you turn off your computer by pulling the plug? Probably not, so treat your K3 in a similar manner. 73, Don W3FPR On 1/6/2011 8:49 AM, N7US wrote: > I've been turning my K3 on and off with the front panel switch.
