 Turn on the -5V power supply. Observe the output waveform across the LC tank on scope channel 1. You can also observe the waveform seen at the emitters of Q<sub>1</sub> and Q<sub>2</sub> using scope channel 2.  Turn on the -5V power supply.

 Notice that the output signal swings positive and negative around ground (0 V). Measure the frequency of the output waveform. Measure the peak to peak amplitude R<sub>2</sub> and R<sub>3</sub> replaced with shorts (i.e. 0 Ω). Compare this to the peak to peak amplitude you measure with R<sub>2</sub> and R<sub>3</sub> in the circuit. Try other values for R<sub>2</sub> and R<sub>3</sub>. Is there a practical upper limit to the values of R<sub>2</sub> and R<sub>3</sub> and the peak to peak amplitude? Does changing the value of R<sub>2</sub> and R<sub>3</sub> effect the oscillating frequency? If so why? Notice that the output signal swings positive and negative around ground (0 V).
