OMG. Isn't it amazing how current technology demands
complications. Used to be you put in a key turned it and "broom
broom". Now is having something in your pocket, and switching
on and then pushing 'Start', But then everything these days
is "marketing groomed". My new radio has oodles of "features"
(</font></font><font size="-1"><font face="Arial"><font
size="-1"><font face="Arial">most of which I do not
understand) </font></font>but a lousy weak station
reception - my $40 portable radio is MUCH better IN the car that
the $$$$$$ "car" radio !!!!!!<br>

As an interface designer, I am puzzled by the “push for on”
solution. It seems somehow inappropriate as well as unnecessarily
complex.

on/off toggle is the natural mode of engagement. Sometimes I
want it on, sometimes off, and I want to know which mode it is

is plugged into the wiring between the manual OD switch

it's sitting on the shelf on the passenger side of the

any trouble. I bought the thing on line a few years
