[K3CAL] Any oscope and signal analysis experts?

[WA4PRR]

If you have an ARRL Handbook, I think there is a simple tone generator in there for testing amplifiers.  
Be sure to get a dummy load that will handle the power you are running.  Hamfests coming up!  73,

But I don't know how to correct that with my ftdx 3000.  Here is a video of the audio sampled with amplifier putting out  600 watts.  And a freeze Fram pic that does look good.

I'm connected to an unused antenna output (antenna #2)on an ameritron atr 30 tuner and transmiting on antenna 1.  Basically just using the coupling effect to sample the rf..with out  having to make or buy an rf sampler.
