Anyone ever try to increase the bandspread of the Offset Tuning (RIT) ? I
looked at the schematic for the PTO and see TT uses a Varactor Diode rated
at 6.8pf for the Offset tuning by applying 3 to 6 volts as determined by the
setting of the control. Why couldn't someone increase the value of the
Varactor to increase the bandspread ? Say to 10 to 20 pf ? Anyone know of a
reason that this would not work ? Or is my thinking way off-base ? Thoughts
?? Anyone ??
