w2aew | #242: How to use an oscilloscope. Plus, seeing signals in antique radios | NJARC @w2aew | Uploaded July 2016 | Updated October 2024, 12 hours ago.
This is a recording of a presentation I gave to the NJ Antique Radio Club on 8 July 2016 at Bowen Hall, Princeton University. It covers the basic controls and operation of an analog oscilloscope (the first 50 minutes or so), and then how you would setup the scope to measuring the signals in various locations in a typical antique AM radio (staring about 52 minutes in). We used a "trainer" radio, which is a classic All American Five type design, but spread out on a large board, making it easy to see the components and schematic at the same time. Many thanks to my friend and fellow YouTuber Bob (the RadioWild channel) for being the camerman. Also thanks to another youtuber, Robert (the AllAmericanFiveRadio channel) for some of the fine graphics used in the presentation.
