[TenTec] Inrush Current Protection - Feedback

[Knox, Richard L.]

Thanks to all who replied to my query both off line and on the
Reflector.  Somehow I missed the manual's guidance on the proper way to
turn the Omni VI+ on. (Power supply first and then the radio.)   And of
course I was duly chastised by several for that omission.  Mea Culpa!
:-)   Several folks suggested that I leave the PS on all the time.
Several others thought it might indeed be beneficial to use an inrush
protection system to ease the shock to the power supply when I did turn
it on.  So I am going to amend my ways...power supply on first and then
the radio... but I am going to try the inrush protection to the power
supply and see how that fares.
 
Really appreciate the help and guidance from everyone!
 
Thanks again and 73!
