Hi Kevin, If your calculations are right ( and I have not checked them) then 56 uV would be very difficult, if not impossible to see on the average oscilloscope.
On most oscilloscopes the maximum Y axis sensitivity is 1 to 5mV/cm, so you are trying to measure something approx 100 times smaller. 73 Stewart G3RXQ On Mon, 17 Jul 2006 20:28:17 +1000, kbgluxford wrote: > Hi guys, > > I have built the Elecraft Noise Generator.
