Well that must be the result of what Jack said about loading the aux buss if
the KAT is off when you turn on the K3.

I think I found a little thing to improve.
the KAT500 can miss a frequency update from the K3 in a certain situation
To replicate:
- Switch everything on and operate the KAT/KPA/K3 combo as usual with
KAT500 in manual mode
- Activate the KAT500 utility for monitoring the KAT500 and select the

The KAT500 needed to be powered first. I also used to do that. That was
in the 'older firmware times'.
With the current FW, up till now I never bumped into any issue no
matter which device was turned on first.

Oh yes, I remember now yesterday I got a soft fault on the KPA500. I turned
on the K3, the KAT500 went to the pretuned setting on 40M and then I turned
on the KPA500 and clicked it into operate.
I said one word and the KPA500 went to standby. No red lights. I returned
it to operate and everything
Chuck,
I seem to remember reading that the order of turning on the K-line is
important. I always turn on the KAT500, then the KPA500 followed by the
K3/P3. I have not had any issues doing things in that order. Maybe this
is why you had the 'problem'?

The KAT500 needs to be powered on whenever the K3 is on in order to avoid
loading the Auxbus. It can be powered up at the same time, but must be on
before the K3 completes its initialization.
The KPA500 has no restriction, and can be powered on any time before or after
the K3 is turned on.
Sounds great but most of the time my KAT500 won't turn on until I turn on the
K3.
What now?

You might want to say how you have the KAT powered. In my station I have a
relay-switch power panel that I built. The relay is powered by the K3’s 12V
output jack. When the K3 turns on, it powers the relay, which the switches 12V

All working smoothly except:
On a couple occasions, after manually initiating a tune, the tune completed
satisfactorily and then the KPA500 indicated a fault right at the end of
the tune cycle. Pretty sure it was a soft fault but I habitually hit the
