Yes I've managed to get a clean signal on 1 of the 4 sets of e/f pairs but the other 3 look the same. Idk what I did tho
If you have 12v on the NPN collector and have a 10v amplitude on the base, the emitter should follow (minus the Vbe drop). If this isn't happening, I'd think the transistor is either open or you have a bad connection on the transistor.
