Re: [The_Cyndustries_List] Re: Updated! ZEROSCILLATOR TESTING PROCEDURE Version 2.0

Yes, thanks for the document, Cynthia!  I can add this to the BIAS 
switch section:

If you have a voltmeter, then with no Linear FM inputs measure the 
voltage on MOD OUT.  It should be about 1.0V with the BIAS switch to 
HIGH, zero volts in the middle, and about 0.2V (200 millivolts) on BIAS LOW.
