[Elecraft] Power up problem

[Dennis L. Haarsager]

Two hours later ... tried it one more time before going to bed and this
time it came on just fine.  Seems as though one of the switches is
intermittent.

I'm on the reflector's digest mode, so won't see any responses until
tomorrow.  If there were such, many thanks.
