[Collins] A really great idea

[Linden, Jerome]

I've done that for both of my stations and in addition to the clutter
problem, I think it saves on the off-on switches on some of the "older"
radios......... JR  K7PUR

Subject: [Collins] A really great idea

I was working on the computer systems in the house and when done I came 
up with one extra power switch/control console.  One of the ones with a 
master switch and 5 separate switches for 
computer-monitor-printer-AUX1-AUX2. I had it on the couch to get ready 
to take it to the local thrift shop for a donation.  My wife didn't like 
it there so she picked it up and laid it on top of my Collins 75S-1 in 
the shack.

Well I went in and saw it there and realized that it would make a great 
power switch for the several rigs I had in the shack.

I never would have thought of it if she hadn't been such a neat-freak. 
 It now switches the AC power to the S-Line, the HW-101, and the HW-32A.

It really cleans up the cords in the shack and makes it easy to see what 
is on and off (lighted switches).

The HW-101 hasn't been tried yet and it may require a modification of 
the switch to use a relay so I can switch more power, but there is room 
in the switch to put in several relays if I need to.
