[time-nuts] Re: M100-2

[Dana Whitlow]

Some early suggestions:

1.  Does it show any RF output?  Of course, this alone is
     not meaningful if by design it does not turn on the output
     prior to establishing lock.

2.  Does the current consumption vary in a manner suggestive
     that the oven is working?  That is, does the current start
     much higher than normal operating current and dribble off
     to about normal over about the normal warmup period?

I've got two aging Rb's and I live in terror that one or both will
expire before I do.
