I can’t remember where or exactly what the settings are, but between the 3 pieces in use, it’s possible to set the KPA500 to stay in standby, per band. It was a long time back, but I remember setting mine so that I could not TX hight power on 6 metres, due to the antenna not being rated above 100W.

I hope that gives you some clues.

I tested after this happened and both work as expected on all other bands. It has been years since I used 10M.  The firmware is current on all three units.
