C6 trimmer cap does nothing

Post by TTVert »

The square wave looks great and C4 does clearly change the wave but C6 does nothing. Am I doing something wrong? I did set switches as manual states I should.

Same for me. I see little noticeable effect from either C4 OR C6. I wonder if I damaged them with my poor soldering skills?

My C4 makes a noticeable difference. I wish i knew how to check those variable caps w/ a meter.

Please have a look at this post http://www.jyetech.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=1108 . The post was for DSO Shell but it is similar here for DSO138.

The cap trimmers are 360 degree turnable.
