Sometimes I even put it in the food. My parts came today. I tried my design, and it locks solid on the right frequency finally. The new loop filter is awesome. Kudos to Helmut for his damped loop filter. Also, my NE555 debounce circuit fixed the frequency error problem. Yaaaah! @Jan I will be trying your design next and see how it compares to mine in lock time. Thanks All Chris Maness |
