In case you do not know, the original 262G power supply DID NOT HAVE any over-voltage protection (also called a "crowbar" circuit. This meant that a shorted pass transistor would feed about 25 volts into the rig, letting the smoke out of some components. Ten-Tec used to sell what they called an OVP protection circuit, a small circuit board with a zener and an SCR on it. The circuit board mounted inside the rear panel of the supply and connected in series with the +12V line output.

I have it on good authority that the VOX circuit in the 262G was not designed to be used in an RF environment.

I love my 544/262G station! It is great.
