> I have a TS-570 that is about 3 years old.  It has started a new, strange,
> behavior.
> I have my TS-570 Power Supply, SM-220, 2 meter PACKET transceiver P.S. and
> TNC P.S., and an old XT PC all on one heavy duty surge protection power
> strip.  My normal operation is to turn on the power strip which powers up
> everything I need to get PACKET running.  Then, if I wish to turn on the
> TS-570 I press the POWER switch on the front of the rig.  The TS-570 comes
> on, HELLO is displayed for a very short time, and then the rig goes to the
> last frequency is was used on when it was last turned off.  This is how it
> has worked for the last three years.  Now something has changed.  When I
> turn on the power strip the TS-570 turns on by itself, without me pressing
> the POWER switch on the rig.  Instead of displaying HELLO and going to the
> last used frequency it displays 14.000.
> After the power strip is first turned on I can switch the TS-570 on or off
> using it's own front panel POWER switch and all is normal.  The only
> abnormal operation is when it and the power strip are both off and I turn
> the power strip on.
> I have never turned the power strip off with the TS-570 still powered up,
> nor have I had any power line failures or shut downs with the TS-570
turned
> on.
> Other than this new trait of turning itself on when power is applied to
> it's power supply the rig seems to be operating normal.  I have never
> changed the battery in this rig.  Could the battery be low and causing
> this?  Does anyone have any suggestions?
> Thanks in Advance and 73,
