[Elecraft] KPA500 Main Power - ON 24/7/365?

[tony.kaz at verizon.net]

Hi John,
Both my KPA500 and KPA1500 are on a shelf in the basement, literally right under my feet. The last time I shut them off was when I went to KP2M last February.
If the power switch isn't on I can't tun them on from Elecraft's remote software.
N2TK, Tony

Is there any harm in leaving the KPA500 rear MAIN Power Switch ‘ON', 24/7/365? (not the front panel power button).

I have done that with my KPA500 at the home station with no problem, but wondered about doing it at the remote site? I can operate the front panel “ON” button and “OPER/STBY” switch remotely so the amp is not running full-time, just the internal power supply.
