[Elecraft] K3S master power?

[Wes Stewart]

Hmm.  Never noticed this since I've always kept power on the KAT500.  But it 
does as it says...some of the time.

At my age, I'm not going to turn this into another time wasting science project, 
but it seems to also depend on the state of the KPA500 (which the K3 weirdly 
turns on and off with alternate power on cycles).  And I think it's not 
dependent on the ON/OFF state of the KAT500 but whether or not there is power 
"applied" to the KAT500.
