Yes I have noticed this.  No idea what brings it on.

>I recently got a KX3 and have set up my station such that the KX3 can share the KPA500, KAT500, and several antennas by using a pretty beefy Daiwa 2-position coax switch. The station is set up just like the diagram on page 147 of KE7X's KX3 book. This configuration seems to work very well. However, I've recently noticed a very occasional anomaly with the KPA500. Every once in a while, I go to power it on and nothing happens. I have to reach around to the back panel rocker switch, turn it "Off" and then back on. Then, the front panel power on button brings the amp to life. So far I've not been able to track it down to a particular sequence of operating events that precedes it. In the past 3-4 days, this has happened maybe three times.
