[Elecraft] Power off settings: ANT1 / ANT2

[Nick-WA5BDU]

Speaking of the powering down housekeeping routines, here's one I 
wondered about a while back.  Maybe it's a proposal ...

I generally just use the ANT1 connector and do my antenna switching and 
disconnecting ahead of that, externally.  ANT 2 is currently connected 
to my dummy load.  Assuming the antenna relays remain latched in their 
last selected position when off, it might be a good enhancement to have 
the rig switch to a defined position when OFF, as an option.  In many 
cases, that could provide modest protection against lightning induced 
transients entering the rig. 

Not as good as disconnecting, but better than being solidly connected, 
in my opinion.
