Not being able to adjust the frequency for TIG welding aluminum is awful on an inverter welder.

I'm convinced that Miller was expecting to make this feature a paid upgrade at some point, but for the money they are charging, the lack of basic adjustment was likely a major cause of not being able to meet sales goals, so they updated it.

I'm also pretty convinced that they are using the exact same inverters per capacity (so the 300A Synchrowave and equivalent Dynasty) are pretty much the same except for the front panel that could get you more control since that's really the only difference between the simpler Synchrowave and Dynasty these days. It pisses me off.

I'm getting to get my employer to buy other brands and stop worrying about buying blue or red. An inverter is an inverter. The guts is the US brand machines are not made in the US anymore since there's no big copper transformers these days.

This is why US companies are the root cause of their own doom. They don't think ahead and now they are paying the price with losing a lot of market share to cheap Chinese stuff that just effing works at a fraction of the price. (I can get 3 MORE capable machines for the price of one of these dumb Synchrowaves, and likely 5-7 for the price of one Dynasty.)
