I have learned to trust things that Bob says, but this one didn’t agree with my memory. So I checked the source code for the KPA500 on this one. The KPA500 only emits a tone when a fault occurs. It does not emit a beep for key entry. The SPEAKER menu item enables/disables the tone for faults. The beep you may hear with the K3 is in response to commands from the KPA500 and is emitted by the K3, nor the KPA500.
I don’t know if there is a way to control that beep separately from other beeps in the K3. 73!
