But at lower ratios, it gets very nonlinear and becomes, if that means anything, a tuned blocking oscillator. The base capacitor value would be lowered so that the cap recharges a bunch during a oscillatory cycle. I'm sure JT and JF will spend the next week diligently searching for a set of values that will make my circuit not work. Then they'll crow, or rather, cluck about it. That's OK: as Woody Allen says, we need the eggs. John
