I fear that the input FET IC with resistor and capacitopr is integrated
with the chip.
A quick look into it gave that there is enough space for an extra resistor=
and capacitor. I have to buy them to test, as I never use this "micro" size=
components.
The MD's I talk about has 1,5V battery voltage. Even so, the previous 1,5v=
Sharps had 1,2v at the input, loaded.
No risk, the voltmeter used only give some 10 Mohm load
Klas.
