<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Current change in one module will be seen in the
power leads of all modules. Think of the power leads as tiny resistors in
series. The resistors share current going to the modules and therefore the
changes in current. Symptoms; oscillators that sync when they are not supposed
to, spurious oscillations, instability.</FONT></DIV>

<P><FONT size=2>> You definitely want to have your power distributed to
each </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>> module from a</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>>
single location. I personally use a power distribution board </FONT><BR><FONT
size=2>> from Blacet</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>> labs (<A

compatible boards </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>> available from</FONT> <BR><FONT
size=2>> synthtech.com and others.</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>>
</FONT><BR><FONT size=2>> You want to be sure NOT to daisy chain... don't
run power </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>> from one module to another.</FONT> </P>
