Ingo,

That is good news. I was planning on using 2m antennas anyway. Time to
experiment.

Many thanks

David

hello david,

as far as i know the range of the theremin can be improved
when using bigger antennas. also there should be a trim poti
on the pcb, if you have problems with the offset.

good luck with your exhibition :-)

best wishes

ingo
