Jim,
      That power switch is connected to the two center pins of the 4 pin 
power connector. They turn on the AC voltage on the power supply. The 
radio will be constantly on unless you use a relay to switch the DC 
power input. I own two Omni-C and I just use the Anderson power pole 
connectors to turn the power on and off.
       I hope this helps, the Omni C are great radios.
