[TenTec] Inrush Current Protection?

[Mark Erbaugh]

Dick,

This doesn't answer your question directly, but why don't you leave the 961
on all the time and turn the power on / off with the Omni VI+ switch?  If
your VI+ has the crystal oven that would keep the oven on and provide
increased stability at startup.

73,
Mark
