Re: [TenTec] Corsair ON/OFF

[Jim <jlboockh@earthlink.net>]

On/off switches on the Corsair II work like those on the Triton IV. 
Someone at Ten Tec (probably Garland Jenkins) told me to leave the rig 
switch for the Triton constantly on and use the PS switch. The push-pull 
switch on the Triton will wear out sooner.
