A scope can be used with a demodulator, (detector) probe to bring the RF signal and modulation into the audio range of the scope.
Sometimes you do not need perfect triggering on the RF; but it is sufficient to see the amplitude envelope to tell if you have about the right amount of RF voltage for the given application. So don't give up on the PC scope programs until you try it with a detector probe. There are many suitable probe circuits, Goggle for "RF detector probe" and you will find circuits, articles, and maybe a kit. -Stuart K5KVH _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
