see two diodes. Just one. What two diodes are -you- seeing, Brian?- Hide quoted text -


You're kidding me right?... the external tracking diode (one) and the
base-emitter diode of the power transistor (two). Got it?



So you claim it doesn't work because one diode will "hog" the current?
Well, that's the point! D1 "hogs" the current and establishes a fixed
voltage for the base of TR1!!! But alas, it only works if your ground
plane is 9 square feet.......

So where's that schematic, Brian?
