Hi Cookie:
I run my K3 on a switching ps but the way it is set up now, this means that
one that to first turn the ps on and then the K3 on. A lot of the commercial
land mobile radios have an option to set the mobile so that as soon as it sees
power from the ignition switch, the radio turns on so the operator doesn't
forget to turn it on. It's an excellent feature and has been around for many
years.

My first thought on the matter is to agree with Fern,
but after thinking about it for a while, pressing the
POWER button is not so hard and it will allow the K3
to turn itself off on low voltage and protect your
battery for battery operations. I have come to think
of this as a good feature even though I am not set up
for battery operation at this time. It will also let
you know right away if you have a loose power
connection or a defective power supply. I vote to
keep the K3 like it is.
