[Elecraft] [KPA500] Rear power switch thread

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Just to be clear - the Elecraft equipment should be turned off using the
front panel switch *before* it is disconnected from the mains supply so the
logic system can do a proper shut-down. You can get away with "pulling the
plug" much of the time, but sooner or later you'll catch the logic in the
process do doing something critical - writing data to memory, etc. - and
will end up with scrambled data. That can be corrected by reloading the
firmware, but it's a hassle easily avoided by powering down with the front
panel switch first.
