[BC] forget the brain dead engineers what about the DJ's?

One of the reasons I never connect a transmitter overload reset to a 
remote control.  The DJ wants to stay on the air, after all being on the 
air his his main reason for existence.  He may not realize what can 
happen when he hits the reset button twenty times in a minute!

Or in some modern remote controls I password protect the reset.

I can tell you that a certain Alaska Nautel Transmitter did not like 
being constantly reset with a bad vswr.
