I have one of those. Some of the Cirkit kits were issued with an unauthorised component change: the RF chokes L2 and L3 were wrong (low Q, possibly?) and this stopped the circuit from working properly on all ranges. When I contacted them they quickly sent me the right ones and then the GDO worked fine. I only mention this because it may be that some people still have the wrong chokes and wonder why the thing doesn't work properly.
