While we are on test equipment topics...
I have been combing the internet for a building article on isolation
transformers and Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI). I cannot
believe that I cannot find any. It is not even in the ARRL Handbooks I
looked at.
I want to start working on boatanchor rigs, not to mention my TR4-CW,
but everybody says ALWAYS use an isolation transformer and GFCI. Nobody
says How to do that. It is assumed that all hams know what an isolation
transformer is or how to build one. Somehow I missed that in my 46 years
as a ham. Go figure.
Google and Bing have failed me. Can any of you help? A URL? A PDF? A
.doc file?
Thank you.
73, Jim

made a minibox with a .1 cap in series with the gozinta and the
gozouta - with a pickup loop for a counter - it's easy to zero up that
way.
