Thanks to all who replied to my query both off line and on the
Reflector. Somehow I missed the manual's guidance on the proper way to
turn the Omni VI+ on. (Power supply first and then the radio.) And of
course I was duly chastised by several for that omission. Mea Culpa!
:-) Several folks suggested that I leave the PS on all the time.
Several others thought it might indeed be beneficial to use an inrush
protection system to ease the shock to the power supply when I did turn
it on. So I am going to amend my ways...power supply on first and then
the radio... but I am going to try the inrush protection to the power
supply and see how that fares.
Really appreciate the help and guidance from everyone!
Thanks again and 73!
