[Elecraft] K3 Failure

[Jim N7US]

I didn't realize that either, so I should buy Fred's KPA500/KAT500 book.

I just made the configuration change in the KAT500 program to always turn it
on when 12V is applied.  It now comes on when my master power switch turns
on the small Astron P/S for accessories and my RS-35M for the K3.  I turn on
the K3 with the front panel switch after that.

73, Jim N7US

I was astounded when I read the caution in the KAT500 manual saying to
always power it before the K3. Strange indeed.

shack configurations where I have no power available to the KAT500, so looks
like I yank the ACC plug every time I need that configuration.  Strange
design, that.
