--- Quote from: Dave Wise on March 26, 2024, 03:57:04 pm ---Is there a way to change the frequency of the 8060A's continuity beeper? It's 2670Hz which is my hearing loss notch. I can't hear it unless I hold the meter right against my ear, which makes continuity test unusable. --- End quote --- I have helped a friend with this problem, the solution was to install a very sensitive red LED on parallel on the beeper. Worked like a charm, it doesn't preserve the original historical aspec of the devecie but the friend wanted to actually use it. Cheers, DC1MC |

I'll keep that in mind, DC1MC; a light would catch my eye better than the LCD bar. (I have to say, the bar is pretty good to start with.) But I was hoping DRTAYLOR would say yes there's a jumper on the MAC chip. I have an idea for shifting the frequency, using a SOT-23 microcontroller and FET in place of TO-92 Q6. It should be possible to monitor the TONE signal and output a chosen frequency while TONE is active. The interesting part will be programming the part to sleep between edges, something I've never done before. Win or lose, I'll post results in a new thread. |

I think this a job for Captain Padauk, I love the little guys, and think that it should be possible to reduce the freuency with little programminc effort. DC1MC |

I still like my ol' Fluke 77. Not a -II or -III, just a straight Fluke 77. On the bench I have an Agilent 34401, but still love my Fluke 77. YMMV |

Signal levels permitting, you could conceivably shift the tone down an octave with a D flip-flop, no programming required. |
