[TenTec] Inrush Current Protection?

[Knox, Richard L.]

Good Day Members of the TenTec Reflector!
 
  Question for you about in-rush current protection.
 
  I leave my On/Off switch on my Omni VI+ in the ON position and turn
the rig off and on via the On/Off switch on the 961 Power supply.  When
when I do turn my power on, it does seem like quite a shock to the
system.
 
  I am wondering if there would be any benefit to inserting an In-Rush
Current Protection device between the mains and the 961 Power Supply.  I
have a commercial unit I purchased some time ago to limin in-rush
current to my Heathkit SB-200 linear.  I was thinking of using this and
wondering if it might provide some protection to both the power supply
as well as the Omni VI+.
 
  Would appreciate any thoughts you might like to share on this.
 
  Thank you and 73!
