Hi Ole Mmmm well I have 2 and a friend has one all had dead batteries,
quickly removed, but we didnt have a manual then so we just ran them without
them batts. Our power is quite reliable. My pair have been running
continuously for around 7 years now with no signs of problem and no relay
chatter. The crystals are well aged now :-))

Subject: [time-nuts] Austron 1250A
Hello
On a whim I purchased an Austron 1250A off of eBay, "tested for power on
only". I somehow doubt they told the whole truth there, as the unit makes
a
*very* noticable buzzing sound when powered on!
The sound comes from a relay on the regulator board, oscillating wildly. I
have a hunch that this might be because the NiCad batteries are stone
dead.
Has anyone experienced this relay going nuts?`
Also, the manual gives clear warning not to operate the unit with the
battery pack removed, but gives no reason.. Does anyone know why this
might
be a bad thing?
Thank you!
OleP
