This sounds like the new firmware fixed a bug. I don't think the amp is supposed to put the rig in "drive power" mode when it is in standby mode, only when it is in operate mode. I certainly wouldn't want the amp to limit the K3's output to 35 watts in standby mode.

My KPA500 used to very reliably automatically set the radio to the 'drive

Now, I installed the latest amplifier firmware and it doesn't do that
anymore ... I have to manually toggle the OPER / STBY function.

Was I supposed to change a variable that I missed?
