I'm wondering if the flashing is either the peaks that it can't sample & display

(or what it thinks is an AC component and it's alerting the driver that there
is a curve in the road). At one point I was going to ask Timmy to put his
meter on AC & see if it would read some of those signals (scope screen
shots with the P-P signals on it) But not sure what would happen) I
gotta try it one day - I was thinking since he don't have a scope
the meter may give a P-P reading on the signal. You know
there was an old fart at the shop I worked at & although
we had 2 scopes, he did all his work with a meter &
a pencil shaped signal injector and a hand held
audio amplifier with a detector diode you
could switch in or out..... No matter the
circuit he would poke that thing on it
and listen, if he was working on Vert.
he listened for 60hz, if it was horiz
he listened for the whistle. No
HV stuff or course.....
Just goes to show, you can
always find what you need
if you get a little inventive....
As cranky as Augie was,
he was pretty cool &
Smart.....
