I have RT+, 3 Powermax, 2 Scouts and 2 Micros.
Most of the time the TX are on the birds except when not flying (as in molt) but the RT+ is kept on a bewet on my hawking vest. The RT+ is for the few birds that don't have trackpacks.
I keep my magnet on a lanyard around my neck.
I've never ever found any of my TX turned on or off with out me doing it.
When the TX are off the bird and in the box, I do remove the batteries.
