Hmm. So when I bought my LightAPRS-W 2 the specs said 2.7 to 16 volts, so I had tried powering it with a 9v battery. It didn’t work, and afterwards I was never able to get the HF portion working. I did some testing and the board seemed to fail at around 6v. I wrote the designer, who said it shouldn’t have been a problem, but then didn’t hear much else.
Now the site says the limit is 2.7-6 volts…..
I wonder if they’ll at least give me a discount on my next order…
And good news all around - they’re sending a replacement 👍🎉
And - maybe not - sending some info back and forth because he doesn’t think the over-voltage could have caused the symptoms I saw, so we’ll see how it works out. I’m still operating under the assumption that all intentions are good though, just in case it was truly user error on my part, and the spec change was truly unrelated to the symptoms I saw.
