Yes true and the KPA500 has a like menu to power up in Operate mode.   
At the same time, I think bringing a station up in Operate mode is much 
like starting a car in gear.  Oh by the way, older cars and trucks with 
manual transmissions, column or floor shift,  could be started in gear.  
Not usually with good outcomes either.
