All you're doing is using a trim pot to FIND a resistor value - to make a divider where you put in the 10K - which seemed too much voltage so instead of just guessing I didn't want you to lose the IRF520 trying to find a working voltage to make the FET work.

I know this seems harder than it should be - it's not - all your doing is making up a "test jig" to make a variable voltage "source" so the EKL can work right.

The problem is in the AM to FM switchover - the level you can work with is different between the two.

So I'd like to know what is the voltage the EKL Parts makes in FM - then again, in AM mode
