Thanks for all of the info! I was going off a PDP-11/23 manual I found that
seemed to be for a complete system, and it was saying the aux switch was
for power (power to an RL02 in their example). I didn't realize it was
configurable.
I wasn't clear though on the discussion about the line clock... If my
machine is having problems with the line clock, would I need to do anything
to the aux switch, other than leave it in a certain position?

There's documentation somewhere (don't
recall off the top of my head
..) about how to configure the Aux switch.
Remembered where I saw it: in the "PDP-11/23B Mounting Box User's Guide"
(EK-23BMB-UG-001), available here:
http://www.computer.museum.uq.edu.au/pdf/EK-23BMB-UG-001%20PDP-11-23B%20Mou…
among many other places, on pp. 2-3 and 2-4. (This manual talks about the
BA11-S, but the front panel configuration is the same for other boxes - my
BA11-N has the exact same hardware on the front panel.)
