ah, the beamfinder...never was very fond of it. now maybe i see why it is there. thanks for the tip.
sweep rate does not seem to affect anything.
beamfinder:
I got the usual bright connected 2 (i assume) point display but severely shifted to the right such that only 1/2 of the expected display is on the screen.
curiously, when i tried that, and released the beamfinder, i got a bright point on the display rather than a full screen glow. then it went back to the glow.
i tried the beamfinder a few more times and it seemed to start bringing something back from the dead. i even saw it flash what looked like it might have been a reasonable trace...but it disappeared very quickly.
the burning smell was making me nervous so i shut it down.
are these useful clues?

Does the rate of the on / off vary with the sweep speed setting?
Sounds like you may have a trace, just offscreen. See if the
beamfinder shows it too you.
