You have to remember what this thing replaces. In ham radio, some people are using vacuum tube oscillators with mechanical variable capacitor tuning. Maybe some advanced rigs use gear drive on the capacitor shaft to allow more exact tuning This Si chip is considerably better then 1940's technology. > > -- Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
