I didn't realize that either, so I should buy Fred's KPA500/KAT500 book. I just made the configuration change in the KAT500 program to always turn it on when 12V is applied. It now comes on when my master power switch turns on the small Astron P/S for accessories and my RS-35M for the K3. I turn on the K3 with the front panel switch after that.
73, Jim N7US -----Original Message----- I was astounded when I read the caution in the KAT500 manual saying to always power it before the K3. Strange indeed.

There are shack configurations where I have no power available to the KAT500, so looks like I yank the ACC plug every time I need that configuration. Strange design, that. > > Tnx/73 > > Gary W2CS ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
