- I would like to turn on the 9420 and Hercules II from the 4 pin transceiver connector on the 9420. I've seen older posts but didn't quite get an answer or at least I couldn't figure it out. According

- You can turn the power supply on from the four-pin transceiver connector on the back, all the power, not just the power for a transceiver as some have suggested. A small load from pin 3 to pin 1 will
