Don, Thanks for the reply, and for all your other help in configuring my K2 station over the last 5 years.
Just out of curiosity - can this not be done if they are mounted in the same box? I think when mine were configured that way, there still were two separate 12V inputs - or do they get tied together? I would like to know if my timeout-switch approach would be useable by someone with the KPA-100 in the same chassis as the K2-base. Interesting that it sound like it is not as "safe" to pull power from the K3 during operation. What about a natural power outage event? Would there be some complications in the recovery process? 73, Tom KG3V On , Don Wilhelm <w3...@embarqmail.com> wrote: > Tom, > Yes, it is sufficient to kill the power to the base K2 (when the KPA100 > is mounted remotely).
