That sounds a lot more clear, but I dont entirely agree about receiver power. If the link complies with the rules, it removes all power to the weapons and drive systems (systems that could cause potential human bodily injury). Receivers and a few microprocessors cannot cause any injury on their own.
Granted, the logic circuits must run off a battery and this could conceivably become connected to the drive side by severe damage. In my case I dont see this as a risk because I only use PP3 batteries, which are too puny to turn a motor. In the general case, I think the risk of this happening is of an order of magnitude lower than the link connector becoming shorted by damage.
The other case is that the logic battery becomes connected to the drive or weapon systems by bad design or workmanship in the first place; I also think this is much smaller than the risk that the link wasnt properly wired. Im open to debate about this, though.
Another case you may bring up is that the receiver circuit could activate a solenoid or IC engine throttle. Here, the compressed gas activation valve or IC kill switch just take the place of the removable link, so the situation is analogous to that of electrical system.
