Good Morning Jim, Yup, some addional hardware is needed for both a waveform and trapezoidal pattern. Best to get an older ARRL(uuuug) Handbook from the late 1950's early 1960's. The circuits and hardware are descriped there.
I can send info, .pdf file, jpegs, and parts list of a little box I built for my cheap $5 hamfest Eico 460. 73's wd8kdg Craig -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Jim Miller WB5OXQ Sent: Saturday, March 18, 2006 9:29 AM To: Discussion of AM Radio Subject: [AMRadio] Use of an oscilloscope to monitor am audio I have a Tektronix model 453a scope and I would like to know how it can be used to monitor transmitted signals. Do I need extra hardware or an interface of some type to obtain the trapezoid pattern? I know some scopes designed for amateur radio have this feature built in so I wonder if my scope can be used for this?
