Hello Steve. I managed to leave my 659 on for 2 days this week by mistake. I turned off the RF system but failed to see that the main power switch in the workshop was still on!

It had quite a soggy LOPT that reduced the width by two inches after about thirty mins. It is now 100% and testing it for a couple of hours this morning on TC showed no reduction what so ever! It must have got a bit warm..John.
