A VHF scanner might work as well. Use a scope on the audio. Alternately, I have purchased modulation analyzers real
cheap on EBAY.

Joe,
You probably already have a phase detector capable of receiving your 90 MHz signal: a good old broadcast FM receiver.
Send the audio to the scope or spectrum analyzer and you should see your 137Hz signal.

It's been a long week and it's only Tuesday.
How can I prove that the A3 assembly is, in fact, phase modulating? In
other words, how can I prove that the 90 MHz signal from the A3 assembly to
J1 on the A4 assembly is phase modulated by the 137 Hz signal?
I have looked at the output of the A3 assembly at the cable to J1 on the A4
assembly (A4P1) with an oscilloscope and a spectrum analyzer with Mod On and
Mod Off and can see no difference. Likewise, on a functioning unit, I can
not see any difference there either. Are there proper ways to set up the
scope or SA to focus on this issue?
Short of fabricating a 'phase detector', how can I prove that the A3 unit is
functioning in my 'problem child' unit. If I have to fabricate a 'phase
detector', how easy (or difficult) is that?
Thanks,
Joe
