Steve THANKS for your response, perhaps this would be a good time to explain what this setting is used for and when. For those folks who have never had the pleasure of the SI SB in off grid uses.

> Anyone know if the Sunny Island’s Frequency Shift Power Control only shifts the frequency in the positive direction as indicated in the manual (ex. +1 Hz to 61 Hz for the fAC Start Delta). Or can it also shift the frequency down? I’m getting 59 Hz output on a remote system and it’s screwing with some other components.
