[1000mp] Mark V turn-on, power-up issue

[Glenn Rattmann]

Thanks Mike.  Before I dismantled the radio, I did check operation of 
the power switch (front panel) with my ohm meter (no FP-29 cable 
connected, radio OFF of course).  In that continuity test, activating 
the switch maybe 25 times, the switch passed with flying 
colors.  However, 'nothing is for sure' and I will take your 
suggestion at the right time, and try again to rule out the switch as 
possible culprit.
