KIO2: set 'Port' to 'Off' when not in use?

[PA3GYU]

Is there any advantage (i.e. save power) in switching the IO-port off when
not in use?
Any other reason not to leave it 'On' forever once the KIO2 is installed?

Just curious.

Bart,

I you could turn the PORT to OFF if you wanted to assure the inadvertent
communications with the computer could not take place.  There is no power
savings that I am aware of.

I never turn mine off, and have not had any problems.
