Rich, That external transformer looks pretty cool.

I think if I am to add a bucking transformer, I'd too want it to be used only when the radio is on. I don't know where I'd put a switch on the transformer that would still be handy...

So... How did you do? You have two wires from the switch going to the enclosure, then the power cable going into the radio? Like, you completely bypass the original power cable?

Using this standardized connector would be a great addition IMHO.
