1/2 finished with 2nd unit. Let me get it finished and see what happens.
Thanks John!

The max Q (before it starts self-oscillating) does not remain constant as
FREQ varies. In order to get the max Q, you have to slightly change it
while moving the FREQ knob. I don't think most people care about this,
so... I am unusual and really try and push it. I played for 2 hours today
with the filiter self-oscillating.

I don't understand the FREQ on this unit fully to know if it is a problem or
not. If it is totally different that the 2nd one, I will have Paul take a
look at it. But that is a ways off.

More this evening...
