<<<<< < I remember reading *years* ago that the "standard" 10% resistor < values were really closer to +/- 12%, (there was some root-type < function in there, I think) and the reason for it was so that < absolutely *any* value they made would fit in one or another < slot. I think that might also be true for the 5 or 20% < ranges. ---------- This may be an urban myth but aren't 5% obtained by sorting? If thats the case then a 10% that is a fallout from a 5% sort is certain to be at least 5% off and maybe up to 10 (or 12). You get what you pay for. John Eaton !hpvcfs1!johne
