As soon as my next unit comes in I will run some controlled tests. This one refuses to show aging with week 9 up in two days. I will use it for other tests before I take it appart. Bert In a message dated 1/19/2012 8:18:10 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, ed_pal...@sasktel.net writes:
I would expect the RF circuitry to handle a lower voltage without too much trouble. However, a lower input voltage means it will take longer for the ovens to come up to temperature. Until they stabilize, a lock probably won't happen. Once the unit has warmed up and locked, how low can you go and still maintain lock? As you drop the voltage, the ovens will run closer to full on. Once you reach the point where one or more of the ovens are full on, further voltage reduction will quickly cause issues.
