I don't' see the message here, but Jack, W6FB, e-mailed me off-list that the
parasitic drain continues from the low-current supply as long as the KPA100
is installed. Only the PA transistors get current only from the high-current
connector. That sounds like what you're saying Don.

Yes, the birdie-generator (oops, bias oscillator) which provides high voltage for the diode T/R switch and -12v for the RS232 port must run even if the KPA100 is inactive. It gets its power through the 12CTRL line which is in the ribbon cable.
