spectrum would be the next area to look. That was all wideband digital. A lot
of 900 MHz SS stuff is available with a little effort. A thought.

I agree with the long snoot, hi. I modified the longest one I had for a 45

Hello Dick,
Take a look at the OPENTIP.com web site for a PICQUIC multique 7 bit
screwdriver $9.41.
That should do it.

Sorry, but the only solution to keep the two outputs isolated is to provide two
audio output jacks, one for left and one for right. AND have a appropriate
limiting coupling cap or series limiting regulator for the amp. IMHO.

Simpiliar is to not plug anything in to the K3 while it is powered on...

Yes, I remember WOW back in the 1958 season. I was running a Heathkit Lunchbox

Next rev of the DSP PCB should have the same series caps that all of the other
audio output have!. Sized of course to the impedance, DUH.
