[TenTec] power problem on 0mni six

[Dr. Gerald N. Johnson]

My guess is that the overcurrent trip is too sensitive and that the PA 
bias in the radio takes longer than ten minutes to discharge, so that 
immediate restart lets the PA transistors draw too much current while 
charging the filter capacitors in the radio.

Makes no difference whether it's off by switch on rig or PS - of course  the two switches are essentially series'd so shouldn't make any difference.  If I leave power off a while it starts and runs quite normally.    Any suggestions before I put the scope to work?  Dave K3TX
