but you just confirmed that it really does happen.
Put me on the 'Agree' list but with the switchable option included.

> CURRENT: Turning on the KPA500 scrolls a message in VFO B that I've
> just turned the KPA500 on. Actually, I knew that and didn't need the
> message. Mine is set to come up in STBY [also when I change bands].
> When I go to OPER, another message scrolls in VFO B telling me that I
> just did that. I also knew that and didn't need the message.
