My KAT500 is always on. It is forever on. It is on, and on, and on. Almost never is it off. The only time it is off is when I am out for some extended time period (more than 24 hours) and I throw the master switch that turns everything off. Other than that, the KAT500 with its cute little green LED lights is on. In my shack, when all the other equipment is off, the KAT500 is on. Actually other than the master switch, I am not sure if I have ever turned off the KAT500. I may not know how to turn off the KAT500.
The K3, the KX3, the KX1 are not like the KAT500. They are turned off each night just prior to me climbing up the stairs to the main floor of the house to bed down for the night. I turn off the K3 and KX3. I never turn off the KAT500. I turn off (front panel off) the KPA500. I turn off the lamps in the shack. I put my two Mac computers to sleep (sometimes). I make sure everything is off except for the KAT500s that remain on with their little green LED lights shining thru the night. Green, green, the lights they shine, those LED lights at night. Green, green, the KAT500 stays on, it stays on thru the night. 73, phil, K7PEH P.S. you know, each morning when I go to turn on the K3, I find that the KAT500 is already on and ready to do its deed for the day.
