[TenTec] Ten Tec Power Supply Wiring

[Bob McGraw - K4TAX]

I suggest that you not do that.  It brings mains voltage into the radio. 
This was done on earlier radios but discontinued in later radios that have 
processors.  It is necessary to allow the Vcc to stabilize before the MP 
routine is started.  It is best to switch on the power supply and let it 
settle {usually 1 second or less} and then turn on the radio.

If the feature exists on the power supply, in order to get it to turn on it 
will require a jumper between pins 2 & 3 of the 4 pin connector.  The 
outside pins, 1 & 4, are the 13.8 VDC.  The jumper is located inside the 
radio on the Paragon and the Omni VI Plus per the manuals I have.
