[Elecraft] KAT500 and K3 Powering sequence

[mark roz]

On Monday I have contacted support at Elecraft but no answer.
So, does anybody know if KAT500 MUST be turned ON FIRST and than K3 - otherwise K3 will not initialize correctly
(with DB15 cable connected as it should). Is this still the case? I don’t like it as I have other antennas that will not be
connected to KTA500. I will not always need KTA500 to be on line. This just doesn’t make sense.
KAT500 will be connected to pos. 1 of the antenna switch.
Could  firmware be changed in order to correct that?
Thanks, Mark
