Re: [Elecraft] K3S master power?
I just purchased my K3 line in the last month, and did not know about the KAT turn on issue, nor did I see any documentation about turn on procedure. So, from the first use I have turned on the K3 then the P3, KAT500 and KPA500, with zero issues. Since powering on my KX3 turns on the PX3 and KXPA100/KXAT100 by menu selection, I assumed there was a similar menu option on the K3 line. It seems not to be, at least I have not found it, but I would like it if it did. Maybe it can be a firmware request? 73 Leroy AB7CE -Original Message- From: Wes Stewart Sent: Sunday, June 19, 2016 8:59 AM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3S master power? Hmm.

Re: [Elecraft] K3S master power?
I must admit that when field testing the kat500, turning on the k3 DID cause a real issue, not heard of any change to that. However, the other day I turned the k3 on before I noticed the kat500 was not powered up. Thinking, oh what the heck, I hit the power on and all was well. Not wishing to create an issue, I powered both off and powered up in my normal way. Does this mean it doesn't matter which is powered first?...i have no info to go by. Perhaps Wayne may offer his thoughts, without his confirmation I will stick with my old method for now.
