I'm working on some different code right now -- I HAVE to solve this in code or I'm screwed.

I haven't measured leakage currents or anything, it will do the same thin on a variety of caps-- I've tried 3 different electrolytics at 47 -- 1000 and 2200 --same results.

Besides, what is wierd is that if I take the cap out and it just sees the resistence of the trim pot to ground,,,,all is fine (about 2.2K).

For some reason, this cap must be shunting the output to ground -- but why "here and there".

Oh well, back to my code.
