P3 Turn On

Bob McGraw - K4TAX
Just purchased a NIB P3 for my K3S station.   Love it!

Question - is it normal for it to initially power on with a bright white
screen while it loads?  This is very brief, but sure makes a flash.   If
normal, then so be it.  It is powered from the DC jack on the K3S.   I
always switch the station supply on first and then the radio.  Thus the
KAT500 and P3 are powered from the same switched source.

I did update it to the latest firmware as it came to me with older version.

73

Bob, K4TAX

Mine does this. The white screen has gone though by the time my finger
comes off the K3 power button, replaced with a P3 boot loader message,
that's also gone very quickly.

Thanks Martin.

 Just wondering if it is normal.  From the reports, it is.

Thanks to all.
