ST:

Thanks.  I will need all of the help I can get....I am not good with these board type circuits at all.  Yes, a JT is what I was thinking as well.  I really like the adjustments that we can make with this set-up...and the low energy draw.  I am also working on a feedback circuit for a very small motor/generator circuit using a JT and a single supercap.  Very early days on that one.

Gadget:

Yes, when you go to the link posted, go to the order page and at the bottom there is a place to click for free samples.  I only asked for one but...who knows....?  This seems to be the type of product where they want to sell thousands and will not sell 1 or 5 or 10....kind of like the 3.5 inch toroids I got.  They would not sell me less than 1,000 units but they sent me 4 of them for free....and free shipping too.  I love free stuff to play with.

They ask you for a company....I said "Pirate Labs".  They asked why I wanted this....i said...."We are doing research in blocking ocillators."  It shipped the next day.  All totally true of course.
