Re: [TenTec] Astron RS-35M and Omni VI

i have ~heard~ a complaint that the Astron's only weakness is in it's AC 
line switch, it dies after several hundred operations, the rest of the 
supply will be fine but the switch will be shot.  if you have another 
way of killing the power supply itself this would effectively bypass 
that problem.  like i said, heard, not experienced.
