I' ve just purchased a Triton IV that is working great except for a =
couple of problems.  Any advice will be appreciated.

1.  The power switch is not working.  When I turn on the power supply, =
the radio comes on, and when I turn off the supply this shuts everything =
down.  Since the power to the radio drops off slowly as the supply =
bleeds down, can this cause a problem with the radio, cause any damage, =
etc.  Should I replace the switch, or install a power switch, or just =
use the switch on the supply.
2.  The light bulbs for the dial are getting very hot.  So hot that they =
have melted some of the black trim around the dial in the past.

Thanks

Walt/KB4SRN
