One more Noise Ring question - Do Noise Rings live in a mirror universe or something? In the manual it reads: At 5 o'clock position, all zeros are output and the "Chance indicator" LED is always off. At 7 o'clock position, all ones are output and the "Chance indicator" LED is always on. If I turn the knob all the way clockwise (ie the way the needle goes on my snowmobile's speedometer when I go faster) the LED come ON, but I would call that "5 o'clock". And vice versa... Is this a misprint, or does the Wiard community "live behind the panel" where 12 o'clock is the same, but 5 and 7 would be reversed...?

Question 2 - At low frequencies, why does the Clock indicator LED flash at changing frequencies? (Flashes at 1Hz then faster, then slower - without changing the CLK pot setting.) - Justin --- grantrichter2001 <grichter@asapnet.net> wrote: > > There is a silkscreen layout in the manual.
