Yes. Actually the "scope" mode does show the RF envelope and would be useful for testing AM if the following were true: 1. there was some sort of easily-adjustable time-base with synchronization/triggering to stabilize the display; 2. the scope actually monitored the output of the transmitter after the PA. (Useful for any mode, not just AM.) Item 1 above requires some software effort. Item 2 above is possible to do if you can use the receiver (with appropriate attenuation) to monitor the output of the transmitter. If you really want a station monitor 'scope, I have the Kenwood station monitor/panadaptor that goes with the TS-520 or TS-820 I will let go. It will do what you want. -- 73 de Brian, WB6RQN/J79BPL _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/
