[Elecraft] KPA500 with K3 in TUNE mode?

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

There is a menu option for the KPA500 that automatically drops it into 
standby on a new band change just for this purpose. (Normally defaulted 
to OFF.)

Band data is sent from the K3 to the KPA500 via the binary band-data 
lines, not the AUXBUS.
