Are you sure you are connecting the pot correctly?
Something like a 10K pot between +battery and ground
with the center wiper attached to _only_ the single
input pin, right?

Also note that channel 0 is (on other mica type devices)
the RSSI input from the radio, so it's probably not
available for use. I believe voltageC is attached to
channel 7, so it's out of the loop too.

My break-out-board just brings all the connector pins to
a convenient connection point, unless the traces are shorted
or something...
