[Elecraft] XG3

[Don Wilhelm]

Dan,

The Tek 453 has two vertical input channels.  Did you connect to the one 
that is being displayed?  Are you using a 10X probe?

Yes, you should see a square wave if you have the vertical amplitude and 
the horizontal sweep set correctly.

I’m setting it up for some troubleshooting and tracing on my K2 (issues with 160 module installation) and I have a TEK 453 scope that I barely understand how to set up properly. I got the unit from the TEK museum here in Portland,OR and it was completely refurbished and calibrated by the guys there. The issue is that when I connect the XG3 to the scope (just for observation and practice before I connect it to the K2) it seems to be just outputting a straight line like a DC voltage. Shouldn’t it be showing a waveform either square or sine? I tried connecting  it to an older scope just to check and same results. What am I missing? I’ve played with the scope controls by it’s quite likely I’m missing something obvious!
