HNY all:
Apropo of the recent discussions on "dirty" RF I have been considering
putting together a "station monitor" to monitor my RF output. I have a K3
(7588) but also an ICOM 7200, Drake TR7A, Drake C-line & a couple of amps. I
have a 70MHz occilliscope that I would like to place between amp & feed
line to various antennas. I want to make sure my CW & SSB output is clean
without clicks or splatter, especially at higher output. This would allow me
to see if there is any effect on waveform from the amp compared to the
transmitter output as well. Some sort of attenuator is needed to protect the
'scope but also to make sure it doesn't change the impedance the amp or
tuner sees. I understand the Bird wattmeters have such a "sniffer" circuit. I
also understand the 'scope alone may not be sufficient for such a "station
monitor". Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If this is not
appropiate for this reflector, I apologize, and would be happy to take
replies off list. Tnx & hny to all.
