It calibrated fine in terms of setting the Q bias and the second step, the name of which is eluding me at the moment.

My mom and her husband are coming out to CA for a visit starting tomorrow, so I'll have to spend all my spare time with them while they are here next week. I'll come back to maybe when that's over and I'm less burned out.

I'm pretty sure it's not a solder joint problem or anything. I check every one witha magnifying glass after making it, because I'm paranoid. But I'll see if I can search around and find some measurements I can make at various points and see if I can get a feel for where it's messing up.
That's the spirit!
I bet you get it sussed an a short break is a good idea.

I won't use pitch correcting software. I use "coaching" maybe you've heard of it. It keeps working even when you don't have it on.
