Hi,
I will be putting together an adapter to connect my TH-F6 to it. The F6
will do AM from DC to daylight pretty much, so it helps in locating RFI.
As I get closer to the source, I up the frequency till I can just barely
hear it, then move closer, and do it again.
I ordered one of those pocket O-Scopes, so I can actually build a device
out of the F6, and a Log Periodic antenna... :)
