[RTTY] BARTG 75 Baud Sprint

[John GW4SKA]

I've used magnetic reed switches for discreet switching while keeping the 
appearance standard. They work fine inside the case with a small button or 
bar magnet outside. Never had a problem with steel casings getting 
magnetised enough to operate the switch permanently.
