This thread is for listing the upgrades that will be added to the SuperMax. These upgrades will be implemented in the next shipment, i.e. no more units will go out that don't have them. In addition, anyone who already has a SuperMax is encouraged to send it back to me at their convenience and I will upgrade the unit and send it back for free.
One note, if you do send a unit back, please do NOT send it UPS, as they charge for customs clearance which is around $29. USPS is fine, FedEx (or any other courier for that matter) is okay, too. Just not UPS, please.
The first upgrade that I am implementing (and has been tested) is to increase the output power from 70W to 80W. This requires a couple of minor component changes to the regulator circuit. There is also an upgrade to the power measuring/readout in software, so that now the power goes from 5.0 Watts to 10 Watts in 0.5 W steps and from 10W to 80W in 1W steps.
The power calibration of the unit is also more accurate.
