Hmm. I used to joke that I bought a KPA500 just so I could switch bands on my
K3 without accidentally changing the VOX setting.

I've always considered "band buttons" on any radio to be the worst possible use
of front panel space I can think of. I always operate with a logging program open, and
it's far easier to just type in the frequency I want without removing my hands from the
keyboard.
I think with the amplifier they just had so much front panel space available
that they just couldn't think of anything else to put there. In the years I've
had KPA500s and a KPA1500 I have yet to touch them. To each his own.
