Make sure that you turned on the Aux Bus 
in the KPA menu.

The K3/100 with which it will eventually be used is otherwise tied up and I wanted to confirm the the per-band power control feature when used with the K3.  (I'm using the AUX interface cable.)

If I put the Amp in Standby and set the K3 for 5 W as a low power level and then turn the Amp to Operate and run the K3 up to a drive level of about 8 W to produce about 100 Watts from the KPA500, then when I turn the Amp back to Standby the power level is 8 W not 5W.
