There are two more on the subject of RF taps/samplers:<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Kk_N_TpDeo<br />and<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2D83xp3H5Bo<br /><br />There is a third possibility too. That old Eico might give you direct access to the vertical deflection plates somewhere on the back panel. If so, you can simply capacitively couple to them. The deflection plates "look like" a small capacitor - on the order of a few 10s or pF. You can couple to them from your transmission line with capacitor, thus making a capacitive voltage divider where the deflection plates are the "bottom" of the divider. This is exactly how the purpose built station monitors like the Heathkit SB-610, etc. work.w2aewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13487833918600029532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590176649168185428.post-66300348516223720642015-11-17T19:46:04.648-05:002015-11-17T19:46:04.648-05:00Showed this to my XYL and her first words were, &q...Showed this to my XYL and her first words were, "Well, I'm glad somebody is out there helping the economy!"<br /><br />Bruce - KK0S<br />Bruce - KK0Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07111415158794117864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590176649168185428.post-55031662044234123882015-11-17T19:45:23.719-05:002015-11-17T19:45:23.719-05:00Showed this to my XYL and her first words were, &q...Showed this to my XYL and her first words were, "Well, I'm glad somebody is out there helping the economy!"<br /><br />Bruce - KK0S<br />Bruce - KK0Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07111415158794117864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590176649168185428.post-91635281020204007172015-11-17T11:26:22.585-05:002015-11-17T11:26:22.585-05:00Hi Bill, you might try this circuit from Allen W2A...Hi Bill, you might try this circuit from Allen W2AEW,<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4Zt_LJX1Tc.
