I have done the same as John, except I didn't mount my switch on the rear
panel.
Instead, I found (after a lot of head scratching) a spot to get through the
rear
panel with a piece of RG-174 and have the switch lying underneath the front
of
the radi, just behind the bail wire. I sneaked through the rear panel beside
the
power conector. There's plenty of space for a couple of conductors, but I
used
RG-174.

Ciao,

No problem-an easy mod.  I installed an SPST toggle switch on the upper left
corner of the back panel (above all the connections.  I interuppted the
signal
to the base of the relay driver transistor and ran it through the switch.  I
can reach over the radio and toggle the switch when I want to engage the
amp.
Otherwise I operate with the relay silenced.

It is a ten minute mod except you have to drill a small hole in the
back-ouch!
I hate to deface anything- but no one sees it and it doesn't really look out
of place.  Wonder why TT didn't do it in the first place?

The Omni VI silences the relay in software, but you have to scroll through
the
menu sytem to do it.   Simple old me- I prefer the switch!

Best wishes de John, WA5TWL
