K3 Power down without using power switch - OK?

KM5Q
Sometimes I just turn off my power supply instead of turning the radio  
off first. Is this recommended or not?

If there are changed parameters to save, the MCU may not reliably save
them. Unlikely to cause a problem, but I recommend that you turn off the
K3 first, then the power supply.
