KPA500 Powering on?

[Jim AB3CV]

I'm borrowing a friend's KPA500 (S/N 0683) while waiting for my KPA1500.

I find it doing something that I don't remember my old KPA500 doing.

When I power on my K3S the KPA500 comes alive as well into the Standby
mode. Standby is the setup PowerOn state so that is correct.

It's as if the K3S is tugging the KPA500 Pin8 on the AUX connector but Pin8
on the K3S is an input rather than an output.

Any idea what might be going on? It's otherwise working correctly. I have
updated the KPA firmware to 1.47.

Thanks

Fixed by using original Elecraft AUX cable for now which has Pin8 removed.
