[Elecraft] [KPA500] Rear power switch thread

[Jim Miller KG0KP]

I don't have a KPA500 and wondering what the deal is with turning off the 
back power switch.  Seems to me that if is was to be turned off every time 
that it would have been placed on the front.  I don't want to have to go 
around the back of my station every time I get up and leave.  Does it say in 
the manual to turn it off?  Is there a difference in using that switch vs. 
turning off "power strip" feeding it?  This topic has been going on for a 
while.  What gives?

73, de Jim KG0KP
