Hi,

Sorry your email got put in a special folder that I forgot to check.

Yes my email was confusing with no neg sign on my dBs or the word down by.
I was referring to the open loop gain.
I had assumed you had added some extra hf gain to the closed loop gain to
compensate for the probe capacitance.
If you try to add more gain than the open loop gain you don't get it that's
what I was trying to say.

I thought I may have suggested in one of my posts that its either a
resonance or mid band drop in gain.

7.2MHz is not too bad
