Ok- Here's where I'm leaving it tonightIcon_sadTime for bed- 4 am) I have gotten things roughly adjusted. As I have no real clue what I'm doing, I'm following the directions best I can... While I have no appreciable understanding of a lot of this, I have it to the point is makes squakies and squeals at approximately the right positions that one might assume I am hitting stations, but have not quite gotten things reeled in.

I almost heard something that sounded like voice, but it may have been my imagination.(Does anyone know anything about a "Vogon Constructor Fleet and some Hyperspace Bypass? Seems we have fifteen minutes to vacate... But I may have misheard what I think I thought I might have heard...)

Anyway, frustrated for the night, I have also discovered this thing can squeal LOUD! Apparently that little 10000x multiplication of the resistance was just enough to quiet it. My faux resistor seems to be doing an adequate job- until a proper resistor makes an appearance. Now to just get all the adjusty thingys adjusted, and I might have a half decent receiver here!

Wouldn't that be nice! My 37-650 a going concern once again. Well, I can dream, can't I?

Still looking for answers/replies/suggestions regarding my earlier questions in this string...
Thanks!
