[sdiy] F->V converter

[patchell]

    Harry can probably give you a better answer on this than I can...if
I recall, he has actually done this kind of stuff.  However, I looked
into F->V converters for a different application many years ago...and my
opinion of them is that even for jobs they are intended to do, they are
of dubious utility.  They will work in the audio range, that is about
all the nice things you can say about them...since you mentioned
"guitar" in your message, it sounds like you might be wanting to capture
the pitch of a guitar...since I have never done this, they only thing I
know is that it is not an easy job.
