Series LCR circuit

[saturated]

Seems like it's always darkest before the dawn  I'm so ready to be done with this book I literally have like 25 pages to go and still slugging it out 

Anyhow the assignment was to put together the circuit

Then calculate the resonant frequency and adjust signal frequency until the voltage across the resistor is maximized.

So I did everything

and on the scope display the top is Vr and the bottom is Vin

So I had calculated 50.33 khz and ended up with this

So I really like how in this field the experiments closely match the calculations 

So now I somewhat can start to comprehend how an old radio tuning capacitor can pull in a radio station but what bothers me is that is only one variable.  Or rather someone tuning in a station isn't adjusting a capacitor AND inductor.
Anyway don't want to open a can of worms

The radio tuning capacitor is the variable when it comes to 'selecting' a station frequency.

It really helps to actually do stuff.  I wasn't getting the results I needed so I had to try and fix it.  Turned out I was using the 1k resistor that was called for previously when I fact a 100k resistor was needed.
