[Elecraft] Bewildering K3/KPA500 power cycling.

[Wes Stewart]

This has bothered me since I got my KPA500 but it hasn't been a show stopper so 
I haven't brought it up before.

It's actually somewhat difficult to describe since it makes no real sense, but I 
will try.

If both the K3 and the KPA are off (KPA rear breaker is on) and I power up the 
K3, the KPA powers up.  If I power off the K3, the KPA stays powered.  If I 
power on the K3 the KPA then powers off and the front panel button is inactive.  
If I want the KPA power on, I have to cycle the rear panel breaker or power 
cycle the K3. This is nuts, but my question is, is it "normal"?
