The last issue of QST had a short article on the CircuitMaker Student
edition circuit design package. I downloaded it and spent several
hours trying various oscillator designs (including the phase shift
oscillator discussed in the same issue of QST). I couldn't get any of
the designs to oscillate! I was mainly trying Colpitts oscillators.

Has anyone else tried designing oscillatos with this application?

Thanks,

Are you sure you set the simulation time long enough for the oscillator to
get started ?
