Well, mine toggles between two mechanical positions also. But read the manual: On this radio, the ON/OFF operation is more complicated. The switch on the case DOES NOT power off the radio. I (used to) use one big station 13.8V supply and leave it constantly ON. Now I have to add another separate switched supply for the SDR-1000. With my new SDR1k-dedicated power supply, I _guess_ the case power switch can just be left ON all the time and all switching done on the mains to the external 13.8V power supply. Is it safe to do this, Flex? Excerpts from the current manual: Power-Up Procedure The SDR-1000 is unique in that the software does not have a way to cut the 13.8V power to the hardware unit. For this reason, we recommend the following procedure to ensure that the radio starts in a stable, safe state on Power Up: <snip> Power-Down Procedure The power-down sequence is almost the reverse of the power-up procedure. <snip> Note: It is necessary to cut the power at the supply in order to completely power down the radio and ensure the amplifier circuitry is not in a bias state.
