[Elecraft] Bewildering K3/KPA500 power cycling.

[Jack Brindle]

Nope. You need to check the aux io cable. I would bet the power-on pin is connected on both sides. It should not be. Fix that and the KPA should behave normally.

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"?
