Prior to that app, moving the wifi to a different channel occurred after clients complained about their connections. I know when the set my wifi channel last year, I saw which were in the clear and then set the channel.

Every place I've been that had poor connectivity, it was a crowded channel and the amplitudes were constantly changing ...

So this is less off topic here than on EHT thread

HP Please tell me how to get microwave oven Magnetron to jump to non pi mode.
So I know MW oven magnetron is 10 cavity design so pi mode is mode 5 so I want freq which is far removed from pi mode so it isn't just destructive interference! But it has to not depend on reflected or external rf source! HP I know you did it to get signal in SHF range from 2mnnn Mags so I want to understand how? Tnx!

Via elimination of the 'independent variables' (assuming 'monkeying' with the magnets is 'off the table') you've, once again, answered your own question! To wit: reduce the space charge! -- I'll wager you can figure the 'how' of that for yourself

So I know MW oven magnetron is 10 cavity design so pi mode is mode 5

Generally accurate but irrelevant

Sincere congratulations on your recognition of said liability

HP I know you did it to get signal in SHF range from 2mnnn Mags

--Emphasis added--

Just barely! Frequency ≈ 4.64 GHz But at fully 63% power availability and ≈ 91% efficiency of ∏-mode operation

All the best

HP Ok already! So you're saying to under-power cathode heater but I say that could damage tube cuz of sputter?

Generally accurate but irrelevant

Lovely!

Sincere congratulations on your recognition of said liability

HP It's not exactly profound observation!

 

So you're saying to under-power cathode heater but I say that could damage tube cuz of sputter?

Cathode 'sputter' is issue of insufficient space charge - So long as sufficient charge is present, sputter will not occur (cathode temperature notwithstanding)!

Lovely!

My 'attitude' is merely by way of 'response' to your larking about these 'peripheral' topics!

Very best regards

HP So are you saying it's like _degeneracy pressure_ of charge that prevents sputter?

So long as sufficient charge is present, sputter will not occur (cathode temperature notwithstanding)

HP So that's ok for sputter but I'm saying there's still major problem of emitter _poisoning_ if cathode is oxide coated!

My 'attitude' is merely by way of 'response' to your larking about these 'peripheral' topics!

HP You know by now I'm studying on Royer circuit again! So multitasking is not issue for me!

Quite despite your seeming insistence upon espying The Pauli Exclusion Principle at work in all manner of phenomena -- The answer is a resounding no!

HP So that's ok for sputter but I'm saying there's still major problem of emitter _poisoning_ if cathode is oxide coated!

Yebut... It's not! In point of fact they are typically of thoriated W - or, more recently, MAC (metal alloy cathode) design -- I have never encountered or 'heard tell of' an RF heating magnetron featuring oxide emitter material!

So multitasking is not issue for me!

Indeed not! -- and that is (or may be) precisely the problem! -- Only time will tell...

Best regards
