Ron,
I have a 10k pot and I believe it is Linear any way it acts but I'm not getting a lot of volume I have about 20-25 feet of antenna (enough?) and it plays a bit better with the ground attached (I have a separate ground stake). I did not get into the Capacitor Block 23 is this worth getting into? I have a Schematic that does give me the values for the 5 caps inside. They all seem to be located between the 2nd detector 24 and the output 47, 23A thru C.
