The capabilities of the scope are determined primarily by the frequency of the signal you want to observe. I use a scope only to observe the audio output of the built-in AM/FM radio in my work van. M

RFI from an overhead transformer propagates by both radiation and conduction. In my experience conduction is the bigger problem and is often difficult to pinpoint. Radiation is usually limited by the

The metering is good. There is no rotatable RF Gain control. There is a switch that offers what sounds like about 10 to 20 dB of attentuation. If I need a real RF Gain control, I use the Sangean ATS-

IC-T90a has great sensitivity, excellent receive audio in AM and FM but the signal strength indicator is lacking for precise DF work.  Many T90s have indicators that are way too sensitive. They show

I assume that the reason some prefer the Tecsun PL-380 is COST. That's unfortunate because for $60 more (based on current Amazon.com prices) the Tecsun PL-660SLV is a MUCH better choice for all aroun
