[AMPS] SB-220: Operate/Standby Switch

[Bob & Linda McGraw K4TAX]

If I paid that much for an automobile I'd have to drive it 15 years too. 

Instead, I pay 1/3 that much and drive it 5 years.  So, as I see it, I
end up with a new car, with all the newest style and latest toys, every
5 years and spend the same amount of money for the period.

Economics......ugh!
