Re: LA500A opto comp MAY 2021 BUILD THREAD 500/51X

Joe,

I am feeding it balanced input from an HP200. “Get an extender” is a...

Re: LA500A opto comp MAY 2021 BUILD THREAD 500/51X

Hello, I’ve just (fingers crossed) finished building this. Excellent packaging, directions et al! One point - the BIO500T pcb has 8 holes around the optos, not matching the 4 shown on pix. One question, possibly related: into the setup and after zeroing the meter I switched to GR. Meter drops like a...
