[ICOM] 756ProIII PA Failure

[Jim Hargrave]

Another good reason for turning off "everything" when not in use and
especially in bad WX..

I installed two regular wall switches in my operating desk that kills all my
radio and computer power strips. That disables all the power supplies and
wall-warts.
