Yes..its the HV osc...I can make a theramin out of the diode/capacitor strings. Sadly..there is no trimmer cap that I can tweak. But lowering the power to get the KPA-100 to drop out kills the birdy which is fine in a pinch if there is a new country ... Like the 5T5 that has been hanging out on 28020.
