I recently sold my Armasight "Gen 3 Alpha AG/MG" system and upgraded to a used PVS-14 with a gen-3 OMNI VIII Pinnacle tube. I would say, the image is better.
But here's my issue, my old unit barely had any whine to it. My new unit, holy screaming power supply batman, this new unit whines like crazy. My old system used a CR123 battery housing, my new system is a standard dual AA housing.
I did some googling and it just seems like a normal thing. One thing I did find is that voltage matters. So I bought some fresh Energizer Ultimate Lithium AA batteries from Wally World and it made little if any difference.
Do the systems with dual AA housings just whine more than CR123 housings? Or did I just get one that's like that and I'll have to live with it.
My long term plan is to eventually pick up another one, then sell off the bodies and build a Mod-3 Bravo.
