 |  | Thanks for the info Rainer. I ended up picking up a Logic Probe from Radio Shack as it was only $18.  Even if its not top of the line, it should work
 plenty fine for this job (and more later).  If I get more serious about
 building these kits and the extra stuff later, then perhaps I'll begin looking
 into my own O-scope.  I've seen 10MHz ones for about $250 and going up from
 there in $$ and capability.  Would be cool to own one but for now I'll stick
 with what I have.   Thanks again.
