Once in a while, I can post a helpful link (I've got plenty of tech
info links, but most don't usually apply to the topic at hand
whatever that may be) , but some of you guys, like Spehro, You,
etc., ... it's like you can pull horshoe out of yer asses You
must do more digging than I do.

Yup, John Chrighton's another one that springs to mind as being very
good at sniffing stuff out on the Web.

I'd often wondered what these "pads" were for. I'd been a bit
concerned to note that the output amplitude varied quite markedly when
sweeping the generator through it's frequency range when measuring the
'open circuit' voltage with a 'scope. I guess now I know why.
Thanks, guys.
