Ok, it is the center one. I guess i needed to think outside the box as the
schematic has it showing, from how I interpreted it, one of the ends.
Great! Thanks for the quick response. Now I can install and play. Maybe
you'll here me on 40.

Thanks

Good Morning,

I am putting together a winkey keyer kit (I know it is not true homebrew,
but I am just a lowly English teacher). Anyways, I have a variable pot
with
three poles and need to know which one is ground. How can I find that
out
with a multimeter?

Thanks and 73

Do you mean you want to know which tag is attached to the wiper? If that
is what you mean, just measure the resistance between any pair of
terminals, the pair for which the resistance does not change regardless of
position of the pot, neither pin will be the pin you want.

Its usually the centre one.
