<P><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial">I'm going to have to replace my steering pot in Spy Hunter (yes! I got it going last night after about 6 months. A ticker-tape parade will be held in George Street Sydney this Friday!).</FONT></P>

<P><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial">The manual doesn't specify the value, and the text has rubbed off the pot. However on the schematic for the Absolute Positioning board it mentions that the set up is the same for steering and gas.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial">The gas pot is 1K - so I'll give that a shot unless you all advise me otherwise.</FONT>
</P>

<P><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial">However when I went to the catalogue I find I get to choose between log or linear.</FONT>
</P>

<P><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial">Which one do and need and what is the basic difference (I get that linear is probably... well... linear)?</FONT>
</P>

<P><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial">Thanks</FONT>
