Folks:
A couple builders have had trouble getting their Tuning Indicators to
function properly.
I hope the following readings (taken from my working unit) will assist you
in locating the problem
NOTE - USE EXTREME CARE when probing the pins of the 2211 IC to avoid
shorting adjacent pins together. Bad thing can happen.
If anyone else gets significantly differing readings, I'd greatly
appreciate knowing of it... may need to 'modify' my observations a bit.
