A footnote to the TCT
Very useful device
A small Mod I found useful
Placed on of those SPDT centre off switches to switch the value of C3 . This
along with slecting R2 gave me 3 slightly overlaping and bandspread ranges.
Can't find my circuit mods at the moment but will post if I find the folder
with the details.
