Your choice. Many of
us prefer to use a toggle switch for DC power, rather than
using the switch on the volume control, to avoid unnecessary
wear on the potentiometer.

Go easy on me! First post and first homebrew project...
Step 2 of the BITX40 wiring up instructions says that 'the DC
power from the socket goes to the board ?through the on/off
switch on the volume control', but then later in step 2 it says
that 'you may route the positive power line through the
ON/OFF switch on the volume control' making it sound optional or
that it requires some additional configuration.
So, if you follow the default instructions in steps 2 and 4, is
the DC power routed through the volume control via the PCB
board, or do you need to do this yourself by wiring the DC
socket to the volume control and then from there to the board?
Thanks in advance!
