A scope can be used with a demodulator, (detector) probe to bring the RF signal and modulation into the audio range of the scope. Sometimes you do not need perfect triggering on the RF; but it is sufficient to see the amplitude envelope to tell if you have about the right amount of RF voltage f

Too bad as it would have been a relatively inexpensive way to get a scope and spectrum analyzer. On June 25, 2006 12:30 pm, Alexandru Csete wrote: > > What about a PC scope like the Bitscope: http://www.bitscope.com? Anybody > > use one of these? > > I have one of those and I haven't been able to

You all caught me wearing my "engineering" hat, not my technician's hat. Working in an development lab I often used a scope to study aberrations of a variety of signals, not just to see a nice square wave. As others pointed out, parasitics are often a much higher frequency than the fundamental si

Tom, If your main interest is just in observing the fundemental wave, I would say that a 100 mHz 'scope would be quite useful up through 30 MHz and with caution even to 50 HHz - and with some more cautions, useful for looking at signals up to 100 MHz. Ron's point is well taken where there is inte
