Hi list! I have a question. I need a variable-frequency square-wave
timing signal in the range 3-5MHz. For slower applications, I usually
wire up a 555 in astable mode with a pot to control the period (and
maybe another to control the duty cycle, if need be). But I can't
seem to get the 555 to go fast enough for my current project. I've
been using a 4MHz crystal oscillator, but now discover I need to
vary the frequency +/- 1MHz (with 50% duty cycle or so: it isn't
critical). It would be great to be able to vary the frequency
continuously with a pot. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Thank you for reading my little posting.
