I need some advice. I am using the ceramic disc transducer at the first link below and built the circuit at the second link already. I connected everything up and re-checked my soldering for mistakes but haven't found any. When i plug the circuit in, I can measure voltages across different passive devices but I'm not getting any resonance from the transducer when it is placed in water. I do have the two water leads placed in water as well. I'm thinking I may not have enough amps to make this circuit work. But frequencies generators aren't my forte so I wanted to confirm with the community that this circuit will even generate the 1.65 Mhz needed for the transducer. I'm currently using 24vdc to power this circuit. The attachment i have is another circuit I was thinking about using for this circuit but I'm surprised at how different the designs are from each other. It is simple and also driven by 24vdc.
