You are putting it into standby two places. Don't you mean "operate" for the
second list of things?
I have a K-Pod button dedicated to turning VOX on and off.

The specific answer to your question isn’t in the hardware, but rather the
firmware. With that in mind,
going to STBY does the following:
1) Bypasses the TR switch, so that the signal path goes direct between the
input and output RF ports.
2) Turns off the 60V power to lessen the load.
3) It also does some housekeeping things like turn on and off LEDs.
Going into standby adds a few things to the obvious:
1) Check that the 270V bias power is valid,
2) Enables the TR switch (removing the signal bypass)
3) Enables 60V power.
4) Again, some housekeeping chores are performed.
Now, what do I do when leaving the op position even for a few minutes? I always
put the KPA in STBY mode. It just seems safer that way.
But, I don’t really see much issue with leaving it in OPER mode.
I also have a habit of disabling K3 VOX when I get up. Again, safer.
