Alpha's position is that it's better to leave the amp on.  Somewhere in the '99 manual I read something to that effect, and a friend who has a 91b told me if he's going to be DXing on a particular evening, he turns it on once, and just leaves it on for the evening.  I keep telling myself I'm going to do that . . .
73,
