I agree and generally use polarization.  
Polarity is for batteries, polarization is for wave phenomena.  

It is cold here too, bored out of my gourd as my guys are more productive if I 
don’t hover or visit the job sites.

I think I will go put a scope on a Rycom underground locator transmitter and 
see what the modulation looks like.  I think it is AM for anything above 815 
Hz.  I want to make a test signal with my function generator as I have a bunch 
of receivers that need to be tested in the lab and I don’t want to use the big 
ole TX for lab bench tests.  

And I also want to test my new function generator.  It does something like 90 
MHz, a dozen different types of modulation including arbitrary functions.  All 
for about $100.  Lots of triggering options VCO amazing.  

Hmmm, 90 MHz.... FM.... I have a 120 KHz to 300 MHz linear 10 watt amplifier...

So, I’m retired - its a cold day so no golf.  Something drummed into my feeble 
brain from Freshman year of EE back in ought one - when discussing antennas or 
signals the correct term is polarization not polarity.  Here’s a pretty good 
explanation for what its worth:

I’ll go back to sleep now..

  in the 3/500 series, i think it was the vector error would tell you which 
radio was the issue. I may recall incorrectly that its vector error or how you 
graph it. but you plot it on a graph and whichever quadrant the anomaly sat was 
the radio/port that was the problem

    Ok… just trying to avoid the climb on both ends or 50/50 probabilities.  
Your likely right that it’s a failed tx on one of the ends…just would love to 
know which side.

    [EXTERNAL] 

    If the platform allows it, you can swap the antenna pigtails at one end to 
see if it follows the local radio or not.

    Lacking any other information, there is probably a higher percentage chance 
it is the transmitter that has the problem.

      Good Afternoon!



      It seems that I have a problem with a 600 series link…it will only run in 
single polarity.  Just wondering how you diagnose which end is the problem?
