Your circuit should work with the Jag. You may not get full output (see Al's post) because the Jags want a wider range on the pulse width, but it should work... Unless, perhaps, the Jag's don't like the 4 ms period. If had a Jag here I'd test it at 4ms.


The input current was derived from the voltage across the 270 ohm resistor, measured with a o'scope.

In all honesty, I didn't spend too much time troubleshooting the Jag. We have plenty of non-legal 883s for our test boxes.
