1.176MHZ?
K Mick,
I went through my figures at least 4 times and I'm getting the same Frequency across all components (including caps) of yellow AND purple rail when referenced to coil ground/ blue wire : 1.176 MHz. I reproduced that frequency in both 1x and 10x settings, if worth mentioning.
I have an old analog scope, but I also have a digital function generator where I was able to reproduce my calculations to verify I was doing them accurately. I'm not sure if there's anybody out there with a 2100V2 that may confirm this Frequency.
I do agree with you in that it's a bit low. I was also expecting a number between 2-4 Mhz also. I don't know why I'm getting that Frequency. Right now my earthfield trimmers are all out of whack, but these should not change that frequency by a huge measure. Perhaps, I should have reset them back to factory settings before doing frequency calculations?
Also, when referenced to coil ground, the voltages are:
yellow rail: -4.94
Purple rail: -2.28
Now, before I start playing with the caps, what type caps should I get? I know you mentioned 1uF caps, but what material? Higher frequency is better for the smaller objects right? If that's the case, I'm going to get that frequency up to 3, 4 or maybe 6Mhz!
Also, those jumpers don't do a damn thing!
At least, when frequency is concerned. Maybe, I should have done more testing...
