Hi gang! There is no battery left in AO-7. All the current is generated by solar panels and the only "power buffer" is the capacitors in the regulator board. This may cause the voltage drop that also affects to output power and shifts oscillators. The solar panels are quite old too... 73, Jari oh3uw _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected]. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?
