[time-nuts] 4 KV Power Supply Recommendations

As I understand it, the supplies are 100KHz, and have no significant filtering
at HV.  They modulate the magnetron with the 100KHz PWM mess.  As long as the
signal doesn't leave the rather wide ISM band, they are under no obligation
to filter anything.... routers, etc. are squatters on the IMS band, after all.

I am sure that some brands are better than others, but then some brands are
only $50.

I don't have any of the new ovens as yet... My old beaters from the early '90s
are still running strong.  I have no neighbors, so their choices are not an issue.
