[Elecraft] Using K3 with KPA500 off.

[AD0ES]

Hi,

I just ordered a KPA500.  As I normally run barefoot, I was hoping that I could transmit/receive with the KPA500
totally off (ie, NOT in standby).  After reading that it uses PIN diodes in its TR switch as opposed to a mechanical
relay that would be off when unpowered, I thought I should confirm proper practice.

Can I keep the KPA500 plumbed between the K3 and KAT500, but OFF while using just the K3/KAT500?
