Hi Mike,

Ah, neat little signal generator.

Now, can any of you electronic whizzes on the list suggest a more common 
diode part to substitute for the 1SS85 component?

I can't find it in the Radio Shack catalog, and RFParts.com has a $25 
minimum, while the 1SS85 is only about $3.  Don't think I need 9 of them ;-)

73,
