Patrick, Steve asked me whether the "fine tuning" potentiometers were necessary on the phaser.  Well tonight there is absolutely no doubt that they are!  With the very powerful locals, I have to very carefully coarse tune the phaser, and then equally
carefully have to very gently null the local with the fine tuning potentiometers.  It does take some practice and a "surgeon's touch"....thank goodness I'm a doctor ;-) !!!   I suspected that it would be Wenatchee as well.  Sure is neat being able to
null our Village 900 down to S5!  Doing that right now. ........Walt
