[Elecraft] K3S master power?

[lmarion]

I just purchased my K3 line in the last month, and did not know about the 
KAT turn on issue, nor did I see any documentation about turn on procedure.
So, from the first use I have turned on the K3 then the P3, KAT500 and 
KPA500, with zero issues.

Since powering on my KX3 turns on the PX3 and KXPA100/KXAT100  by menu 
selection, I assumed there was a similar menu option on the K3 line.

It seems not to be, at least I have not found it,  but I would like it if it 
did. Maybe it can be a firmware request?

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.
