All: Thanks for all your input. Big thank you to Richard VE3KI for his excellent email which should be in the manual verbatim, frankly!
I have heard from Elecraft Support, and the factory says that the only pins that are disabled on a standard KPAK3AUX cable are as follows: Pins 1, 6, 7, 8 and optionally on some cables, 4 If you need external PTT, you can use the "interruptor" to disable pin 10. Pin 11 can be used with a macro to remotely turn the KPA on and off via DIGOUT1 I disconnected my pin 8 and the power issue I illustrated went completely away. Thought you all would want to know in case others walk in my footsteps in the future.

I think you have more pins connected that Elecraft does not connect with their cable...probably pin #8.
