[Elecraft] KPA500 Switch Off

[iain macdonnell - N6ML]

I agree that it's a good idea, but I wonder if it's feasible... It
appears the the KPA500 is currently only transmitting on the AUXBUS,
not receiving. If it was able to receive, it seems there shouldn't be
a need for BCD band-data in the AUX cable for a K3 (although other
rigs would still need it). So, perhaps there's no way for the KPA500
to "know" when the K3 has been powered off. Details of AUXBUS workings
seem to be somewhat shrouded in mystery......

73,
