I've built Sverre Holm's zero-beat indicator (updated KR5L design) for my K2
and am having trouble with the sensitivity. No matter what value I use for
R5 (I'm using a 500k pot) the indicator turns on at a sidetone level of 102
and off at 98. With no R5 the circuit triggers at 108. This is
significatly higher than what the circuit should trigger. I should be able
to get the circuit to trigger with a sidetone as low as 9 or 10. Has anyone
else built this circuit and had similar problems?
Thanks,
