double pot trouble on SA II/STUN

(1 / 2)


Concern has been expressed about the fact that there are two volume pots
in the sit-down STUN. People may become confused about how to set them
and think they have a service problem when they don't. John, can we
discuss the options for solving this problem first thing Fri. morning
since the manual should address this issue if we don't, and the manual
goes out Fri.

Two volume pots

(2 / 2)


The advantage for two pots is:

	The documentation currently calls out two.
	
The disadvantage for two pots is:

	Operators can get confused.

I recommend that:

	Byron and Ed verify that a short instead of the PCB pot 
        sounds ok (you can't hear the clipping).

	Byron generate the ECN to insert a jumper instead of 
        the PCB pot. (Work with Art to find the best way of 
        doing this just for STUN, and not on future versions, 
        if any.)

	Ed and Carole make sure the manual says the right thing 
        (one pot instead of two).

Let me know ASAP if you disagree.

Thanks!!

John
