How can I tell if the pot is linear or audio. I would guess the "A" after the value would mean audio, but would "B" stand for linear? For most of my pots I have a "A" and a "B" in similar values.
How could I test it easily?

1st and third and last are lin
put all the pots in the middle of their rotation. and check the values.. a lin should be aprox half total value.. log will not
Yeah a pot value followed by the letter 'A' will be logarithmic (think "Audio"), and one followed by 'B' will be linear (think, uh, well just think "B is not A and A = Audio" :| )
Yeah, that's what I thought.
I tested on my VOM but I was watching how fast it dropped.
Thanks
I too forgot what the B stands for, if anything, so looking it up...

There are two options we can pick from - "beeline" or "slam bang" (I kid you not on the second one; check the link :D)
Yep, not enough sleep for me...
