Good point Evan!

But I can’t figure out is how disconnecting a Lowpass filter would result in a lower voltage. It should result in a higher voltage. ?

I tried to look for what things might be shorting out. There’s a chance that the high-voltage system is shorting out but it’s only connected by 47 pf?

?and that’s not much. ?

It should be possible to test the LPF selection process with a DMM.? Use USB, set the drive to 1 and the mic to 0.? Then, measure the voltages on the banded sections of the selection diodes.? Only one pair should be close to zero; the others should be close to the input voltage (12 volts) without the RF voltage doubler.
