I wish that were true. But I'm paying a peak rate of $0.34 per kWh, and 
we do lots of things to minimize our power use in that penalty area.  
Indeed, one of my mental cost justifications for buying the KPA500 was 
that its instant-on feature saved the cost of keeping the filaments of 
my Titan going when I was in the shack. So I really would like that 
front panel switch to kill power to the unit, not just to the 
microprocessor.
