[1000mp] my Yaesu VL-1000

[FireBrick]

I'm VERY happy with my Yaesu VL-1000 amplifier.
It's a tad lower power than my other amps, but the automatic tuning and band
change far and away make up for that.

I have just one request.
Does anyone have a mod that will allow me to turn it off?
It's turned on and off automagically by the MP.
Seeing as how I can tune the bands for hours without transmitting it seems a
waste of energy to have the VL in a ready state.

I can flip that switch on the back, that turns off the amp but also grounds
the antennas. So that doesn't work.
I see the problem, how will the MP have the right antenna if the VL's not
powered up, just wondering if someone found a work around.

Happy NY to all you Yaesurians.
