All:

It is certainly my understanding as a requirement and my intent that receivers which can be used for command (U, L) will always have power.

Don't think power would be impacted since the spare unit would be in a

Please don't assume that it's ok to have the power to a command receiver
switchable without substantial discussion and review.  All prior AMSAT
projects that I'm aware of have had command receivers always on, even if
they weren't always in use.  I'm pretty confident that includes both of
a redundant pair.  Happy to be corrected by others with better knowledge
of history if I'm mis-remembering some relevant case.
