<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi all!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well, the RXCV board is all soldered up, but until
I wire up the panel I can't test it...soooo I'm moving on to the VCO4d. The pdf
is outdated (i.e. wrong), but the web page version of the schematic is badly
rendered (poor resolution) and very difficult to read. Does anyone know if the
parts list on the webpage is OK? </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My Jameco order arrived last week. UPS suxors.
Anyway, the good thing is that the $25 certificate of origin seems to have
negated the usual nasty UPS brokerage fee. Of course, Mouser provided the
self-same certificate of origin for FREE, so I can't see why I'd ever order from
Jameco again.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have put in an order to Futerlec; they were the
only people offering value packs of everything I wanted (except mylar caps), so
I figured what the hey, if it takes a while, so what? The price was right. I
ordered grab bags of 1/4watt resistors, ceramic and electrolytic caps, IC's, and
maybe even some more IC sockets...can't recall.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am about to put another order in to Mouser;
header pins, molex pins (forgot those last time, grr), TO-5 sockets (I wanna do
some hit-or-miss...er, swapping), some pots, some mylar caps...is there anything
special I should grab from them while I'm stocking up the home workbench?

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anyone from Canada ordered from Allied lately? Are
they cool? They have NSL opto-isolators, hehe.</FONT></DIV>
