Hi Rag,

Yes, if you set the REMOTE switch on the rear panel of the RF unit to "OFF",
you will enable the front-panel POWER key on the RF unit. You will then no
longer be able to power the Quadra on or off from the exciter.

Cheers for now, 73,
Adam VA7OJ/AB4OJ

I am unable to turn off the RF unit from it�s front panel. Is there a hidden
switch somewhere I need to change ?

If you turn off the VL-1000 RF unit, but leave the VP-1000 power supply
powered up, the ANT1 relay (RL7001) on the ANT-SW Unit board is held
operated
by default, thus maintaining the  receive signal path via the ANT1
socket. The INPUT 1/2 selection relay (RL4003)on the Divider Unit board is
non-operated, maintaining the signal path to the INPUT 1 socket.

If you power down the VP-1000, RL7001 releases and opens the receive signal
path. You will need to leave the VP-1000 powered up to keep the receive
signal path open. This has the added advantage that the auto-routining
feature will exercise all relays in the system for contact-wetting
(cleaning) purposes.

This information was derived from the VL-1000 Service Manual. Please check
