KPA500: OPER/STBY Status Comms Bug With K3?

If I hit the Oper/Stby buttons on the KPA500, the K3 displays a message and selects the proper power drive level. However, I've enabled BAND CHG to STBY, which switches the KPA500 to STBY whenever I change bands. It does that, but going to STANDBY by changing bands does NOT send the STBY message to the K3, so the K3 drive level stays at the OPER level, even though the KPA500 is in STBY.

Shouldn't the KPA500 tell the K3 it has gone to standby via QSY? That would keep things in synch better.
