Subject: RE: [motm] Question about MOTM-300 Troubleshooting guide

From: David Bivins <dbivins@...>
Date: 2001-02-22

Hey, this means I won't be alone in the next couple of nights of
troubleshooting ∗my∗ recently-built 300.

Mine seems fine except that the sine and tri wave outputs are weak and
buzzy; I haven't been able to calibrate it yet, so maybe that will put
things right. Life can really get in the way of building/calibrating
modules--what a pain! ;)

David.
