John, In the cases I have seen, an "Iso-Tee" is constructed by removing the center pin in the offset side of a UHF "T" connector, grinding it down until it is flat with the insulator surface (add a notch so you can re-insert with a screwdriver) and reinsert the pin into the connector. This provides for an indirect connection for testing purposes.
The link below describes the theory/practice behind its design and use, although the author uses an insulator sleeve around the center pin of his connector rather than the design I am familiar with. http://www.conknet.com/~b_mobile/NoiseStuff.html This article describes the design I am familiar with: http://mrtmag.com/mag/radio_rf_samplers_directional/ If you have a Bird wattmeter, you can construct one for use with your meter: http://www.repeater-builder.com/projects/bird43sampler.html Hope this helps!
