[Elecraft] KPA500 & K3 - 30 meters

I had a KPA500 a year ago and in a moment of stupidity, sold it. Now considering a replacement. Got a question about it's operation that I can't for the life of me recall from my previous ownership. 

Let's say that I want to use the amp on all the HF bands except for 30 meters. Does the KPA500 have a per-band memory for the "operate / standby" function? Scenario: If I put the K3/KPA500 on 30 meters and place the amp in bypass, then drop down to 40 meters and go to "operate" mode, and then later on go back to 30 meters - will the KPA500 "remember" that I want it in bypass mode, or do I have to do it manually? Looked in the downloadable KPA500 manual, but saw no reference to this.

Thanks in advance, Jim / W6JHB
