Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: MOTM

Well Paul really is the one that needs to decide this as I know he has
priorities and even with using outside designs he has only so much capacity
to introduce new modules. If not now maybe at least it can be put in the
que.

As far as I am concerned I am interested in commercializing the design but I
have design standards that are high (Paul and I are compatible in regard to
this) and would not want to introduce something into the MOTM product that
did not meet its high standards. While doing a through zero 300 is probably
not possible (by that I mean a new VCO with near 300 performance) we may be
able to get close and certainly high enough accuracy over a practical
frequency range with comparable drift specifications. But this needs to be
tested. Finally, cost is an issue I am sure. Such a product may not be as
expensive as the 300 but it wouldn't be far behind as the critical elements
(especially the expo gen and charging circuits) will be at least as
expensive. My guess is that the cost would be the same, less any reduction
due to reduced panel controls if any.

As far as being a non-lurker I will chime in when I have something to add or
the conversation is interesting. Now that the ice is broken you may wish I
would just shut up!
