If you leave it "on," the power supply is energized. A surge on the
line could fry the unit. It happened to me with a Yaesu Quadra.

Is there any harm in leaving the KPA500 rear MAIN Power Switch ‘ON', 24/7/365?
(not the front panel power button).
I have done that with my KPA500 at the home station with no problem, but
wondered about doing it at the remote site? I can operate the front panel “ON”
button and “OPER/STBY” switch remotely so the amp is not running full-time,
just the internal power supply.
