This is no longer true. That problem has been fixed. I don't know what firmware version it was that eliminated the need to have power to the KAT500. Even when the problem existed, it only required that there be 12 Volts at the KAT500 power connector. It did not require the KAT500 to be powered on. I solved this by having the K3 and KAT 500 powered from the same power supply. I could power on the K3 before the KAT500 with no problems. With the fix the problem is moot. On Field Day we operated the K3 and KAT500 from separate power supplies and turning on the K3 before turning on the KAT500 was not a problem.
