Hoop,

I do not have that Fred Cady book, but I would think that is intended only to switch between the K3 and the KX3 when both the K3 and KX3 are powered on.

If you want to operate the KX3 with the K3 powered off, you can remove the cable from the K3 ACC connector.

I have configured my K3 and KX3 as shown in “The Elecraft KX3 - Portable: Going for 
the Summit” book that Fred wrote, the 2013 version.    I have configured cabling as 
shown in section "9.8 The KX3 and the KPA500”, figure 9.17, which shows use of 
the Keyline Interrupter, RCA cables, E980232 Adapter for the KX3, et al, with an RF 
switch between the K3 and KX3 in order to input either to the KAT500/KPA500 pair.

How do I put the KPA500 into OPER when I have powered off the K3 and switched 
the my KX3?

Currently, when I turn off the K3, the KPA500 always switches to STBY and I can 
not then switch the KPA500 from STBY back to OPER.    I am thinking that there 
might be a setting somewhere?
