Speaking of the powering down housekeeping routines, here's one I wondered about a while back. Maybe it's a proposal ...
I generally just use the ANT1 connector and do my antenna switching and disconnecting ahead of that, externally. ANT 2 is currently connected to my dummy load. Assuming the antenna relays remain latched in their last selected position when off, it might be a good enhancement to have the rig switch to a defined position when OFF, as an option. In many cases, that could provide modest protection against lightning induced transients entering the rig. Not as good as disconnecting, but better than being solidly connected, in my opinion. 73--Nick, WA5BDU ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
