I have an MV89, and it draws about 320mA steady state. No cycling of the current at all once warmed up. The surface temperature is warm, but you can leave your hand on it.
Performance wise, the MV89 is very good. The ageing is particularly low - after only a week from power-up it's running at under 1e-9/day. By the way, my unit came direct from Russia, not epay. 73, Murray ZL1BPU _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
