I'll go with the\nbattery and ten-turn pot method.\n\n73,\n\nJuan\n\n-----Original Message-----\nFrom: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of\nGrant Hodgson\nSent: Sunday, June 10, 2007 12:42 AM\nCc: 'Dave Black (Home)'; 'David Smith'; [email protected]; 'Dave Black (Work)'\nSubject: [eagle] Re: New 70 cm Receiver Test Results\n\nJuan\n\nThe VCO control line will be extreemly sensitive to noise; testing VCOs \nwith a power supply often gives more data about the power supply noise \nthan the VCO performance.  If you want to open the loop and control the \nVCO directly, I would suggest controlling the VCO using a battery with a \npotentiometer (10 turn if possible, or 'padded down' with resistors to \ngive a reduced VCO control range) and maybe a large value parallel \ncapacitor or two.\n\nregards\n\nGrant G8UBN\n\nJuan Rivera wrote:\n> John,\n> \n> I'll tackle that tomorrow.
