When I powered the K3 up this morning I was greeted with the following behavior:
When it powered up, the LCD display was on (yellow) but nothing was displayed No Audio No band data sent to the computer Nothing on the P3. The K3 could not be powered off with its power switch. Since my K3/P3/KAT/KPA configuration operated more or less flawlessly, I asked “What changed?” My Acom 2000A was configured to be the amp The power to the KAT500 was removed and repurposed Appropriate coaxial cables were rerouted to put the 2000A in line (of course) With the help of a good friend it was determined that the issue was that I had removed power from the KAT500 without unplugging the unit from the K3’s ACC jack. When I unplugged that line, the K3 powered up normally. Why does this happen? Is a powered-off KAT500 an invalid state to the K3?
