KPA500 Power On Sequence

[Larry Russell]

Is there a routine to be followed to power up the KPA500?  I recently added
the KPA500 to

my K3 to complete my K-Line. Sometimes when I punch the power on button of
the KPA500

nothing happens till I cycle the switch on the back of the AMP off and back
on and then the

front power on switch will work.   I've not seen anything on this in the
Digest..

If I power the Amp on first before the K3 it seems to work 8 out of 10 times
but not 100%

of the time.  

 

Is there a sequence I need to follow?

You might try the 1.32 beta firmware. There have been some fixes
relating to firmware hangs.
