I have a ver 1.1 box, and a ver 3.  Just a word of caution: I remember
reading somewhere many moons ago that it's best not set the output
power higher than 70% or 80% of max.  Higher than that and the chances
of burnout within a year go up significantly, unless one augments the
internal heat dissipation.
