| #72: Simple Station Monitor for Ham Radio using an Oscilloscope This short video shows a very simple way to hook up an oscilloscope to use it as an RF Signal Monitor to observe the RF envelope from your ham radio transmitter. It shows how you can use the stray RF coupling that exists between the RF path inside of your tuner to one of the unused ports in the tuner as a simple no-cost RF sampler to couple the signal into your oscilloscope. BE ABSOLUTELY SURE that you do NOT transmit directly into your oscilloscope - that is a sure way to DAMAGE your scope! https://youtu.be/2D83xp3H5Bo |
