[Elecraft] P3 Failure and such

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

I’ve always found and was taught that one should not just dump the power on station shut-down. This could be the cause of many mysterious and lucid operation 

 Likewise; on power up:
(A). Power supply on first
(B). Transceiver on next
(C). P3 on if not powered from the K3
(D). KAT500 on if not powered from the K3

Shutdown the items in reverse order. NEVER just dump the power as there is a Power Down Imminent (PDI) circuit which saves data and then correctly shuts down the systems.
