After running overnight, the current draw has stabileized at 160 mA. I tweaked the trim pot to set the frequency to 10,000,000.00 Hz, which is the resolution of my counter. The counter is synced to the Z3801A. The Ovenaire is exposed to ambient air, so I expect things to change as the day warms up.
