Hey guys noob question, can the 600+ run 24/7. I have it sending data thru gmcmaps from home. Or will it run down the unit and tube a lot quicker?

Personally I prefer to keep it unpowered, unless we pass defcon 1. :)
It could be interesting to have a tube outside powered 24/7 because we would be more sensitive to small variations. indoors I think it's less relevant.
but it can be interesting to keep long records taken from time to time as a reference.
but otherwise it is no problem to keep 600+ running 24/7, it is made for that.

Yes,leaving it on should be fine.
Someone recently calculated it should last for billions of clicks.
Check recent threads.
I was just being cautious,and hoping it would be usable for a great many years.
