Hi Ken, It's possible that the KX3 is getting an outside signal to power on. If you have a cable attached from ACC2 to a device that behaves as described below, it could cause the KX3 to power on. I don't know what device type to suggest, because I don't know your station's layout.
>From p28 of the Owner's Manual: Remote Power On/Off To turn the KX3 on, a remote-control system can place 8 to 12 volts DC on the mic jacks PTT line for 100 ms or longer. (The ACC2 jacks PTT IN pin function cannot be used for power-on control. Use only the MIC PTT line.) To turn the KX3 off, the controller must send the KX3 a PS0; command via the ACC1 jack (RS232 or USB, depending on the cable used). If the controller also turns off the KX3s power supply, it should first allow 100 ms for the KX3 to shut down.On Thu, 3 Apr 2014 73, matt W6NIA > >>Have had two AC outages recently and both times my KX3 ... which was "OFF" >>... has turned "ON" with the return of power.
