KPA500 Slow Start Up

Keith O'Brien
It's been a couple weeks since I last powered up the KPA500, but when I started it this morning it was slow powering up. By that, I mean the Display light up but was blank of information. It stayed that way for a few minutes and then came up with the usual KPA500 and then the band it was last set to.

It a fairly new KPA500 with out many hours on it.  Has anyone else noticed this strange behavior?

Are you turning it off at the rear and front panel both?.  If you are
I could see that happening.  Mine starts in less than a second, but I
do not use the rear switch to turn the unit off.
