Mar 25, 2020 at 21:17 comment added Newbie thanks for that. The reason why R3 is 73Ω is due to in the device there is 2 LEDs in parallel each with a forward current of 30ma per LED, with a forward voltage of 3.2V so roughly R3 should be around 56Ω. If it was 220Ω I think that could be a little too dime. But I will definitely replace R2 to 10K. On the prototype board I do have R1 right next to the base.
