"The issue is timing. Your code has to poll to determine the KPA op state, then 
start all the transitions which will result in the PTT line being negated."

No, not true.  There is no timing issue with my implementation since the key 
line is ALWAYS inhibited while KPA500 is in STBY mode.   Required conditions 
have to be met before the key line is enabled.  Any delay due to my slow system 
interfaces simply means that it takes a bit longer for the KPA500 to be set to 
OPER power level.

Thanks for the explanation of the KPA500 K3 power control interface.

The driver for  doing a write up of my controller will probably be my club's 
presentations manager.  He has twisted my arm a few times to prepare and give 
presentations and I'm probably due for another turn in the barrel.

73,
