[Test-Equipment] OT: microscope cameras

[wolfbob]

I have a Receivers wireless camera kit, 380 TV lines, NTSC, 
wireless camera with IR illumination to a USB2 receiver. I 
changed the factory focus (unscrewed the lens about 1/8 
inch) to about 3 inches to give a full screen picture of a 
magnetic compass about 1.5 in in dia. Camera will run for a 
few hours on a 9V battery. I have this unit remote located 
12 ft above the ground on the antenna mast. It is used to 
give the true bearing of my Yagi antenna while the vehicle 
is in motion. Works fairly good. Cost was about $50.
