[TenTec] Need ps for Triton 540...

[Mike Hyder --N4NT--]

Both power suppies have a SPST switch on the front panel.  The rigs have a 
SPST switch on a control -- on my Omni-C it is on the AF Gain control. 
Those two switches are placed in series with the circuit between the power 
mains and the supply's transformer.  If either switch is "off" then the 
supply is off.  Without adding a jumper somewhere there is no way to turn 
the supply on before the rig.  I've used these rigs/supplies for years 
without a problem.

73, Mike N4NT
