I also wanted to do this, but apparently it's not possible. Another way to do it would be 
a command to activate the DIGOUT1 line on the ACC connector, which could operate an 
external relay. Or change the state of the KRC2 ACC output (if you have a KRC2, as I do) 
by activating the KRC2 menu item.

Unfortunately, either of these would be 'sticky' -- once activated it would stay activated 
until another command turns it off. I want something which will default to 'amp off' when 
powering up the K3.
