[Collins] Collins 30L-1 misbehavior

[Dr. Gerald N. Johnson, electrical engineer]

Switching the amplifier power on shouldn't change the contacts in use or
the pressure on them, so shouldn't change the received level. As Knepper
points out, it sounds like a control line is being activated by that
power like his leaky bypass capacitor. That's where I'd look. E.g. the
amplifier IS being keyed though not necessarily by the exciter.
