I did try that and indeed it helped - 80 % of the time
I get the switch to work. I do not understand that. My
rotor works in any case whether I set the tone on or
off. But the switch would need tone on??? to perform
the switch. To make things more interesting I tried 3
different switches and one of them is Spaun switch.
