Every morning a young guy in the neighborhood drives by in his wreck. Just a few minutes ago, as he drove by, I was fortunate to get an S meter reading of S9 from his bad ignition system. I was listening 20 meters using my K3 and a Hygain TH11 beam. I setup my function generator to get an S9 level and low and behold, the pulse level was 519mv. I tried every combination of pulse widths and rates but I concluded that the generator level is correct. I can't beleive that a car can produce a 500mv pulse at the antenna or am I missing something.
I'm thinking if I connect my oscilloscope to the antenna as he drives by, I can get a better idea of the pulse shape and amplitude.
