Thanks Pete. That handbook provides all the answers. I wasn't aware of the 
power supply HT options built in.
I better look into the one I have with the drift issue as it may not have 
been strapped properly for the higher HT rail.
In any case - the lower the better these days- I'll try with 150 initially 
for the other one and see if its making enough 'noise' to be useable at 
that.
