As everyone knows, "real" RF ammeters are becoming scarce, or very
expensive. Does anyone out there have info on where to find a circuit
that is relatively inexpensive that I could use as a substitute?
Something using a toroid core plus diode, or something like that, would
be what I am looking for. Not too complicated in any case, and
absolute accuracy is not needed - a relative indication would be fine.
The application is measuring RF current for a trailing wire antenna
from an airplane. Transmitter power is in the 100 watt range.
Thank in advance
