[Elecraft] KPA500 fault

[Richard Squire - HB9ANM]

Hi Len

My KPA500 is normally set to PWR ON = STBY, which is the factory default
setting.
But after setting it  to OPER for a test,  I noticed the same thing.
I suspect this is a timing issue, just like leaving the K3 at low power on
band change if BAND CHG is set to STBY.
The next FW release is supposed to solve the problem. Some hams (field
testers?) seem to have FW 1.11 (which is not even Beta yet) but most still
use 1.02.

Let's wait and see...
