Phil, thanks for doing this. I remember having a hard time with load lines until seeing the since wave, then it made sense.


A request is to get into different cap values and resistor bypass showing what different frequencies can be boosted. That is to me the purpose of understanding load lines.


Thanks, I pick up things even tho I clown a lot, don't be fooled. I am genuinely appreciative of your time.

Sorry was off visiting Disneyland for a few days and didn't get to respond until now, thanks guys!  Mostly I learned this stuff from the guru's here so yeah, just trying to share it in a different way.  I'm still learning tons myself every time I do another build etc.

Love it :)
