I have a HP8405A Vector Voltmeter I'll give you and even pay the shipping
if that is of any help with the measurements.

Wow, thanks for the offer. That would certainly be more
accurate than eyeballing an o'scope. Do you think the
use of such would prove me right or wrong? Does the
VV compare two signals and report the phase difference?
Are the probes differential or coaxial? I've never used
a VV.

Hi Cecil

I dont know how to use a VV either. I got a couple of them from Pacific
Missile Range surplus. One has a probe sheared off. I figured I could
build a "pair of probes" to make that one work for myself. You are welcome
to have the other. That one looks complete.
It sure would be worth the effort to ship it to you if you'd like to have
it.
I cant guarentee that the 8405A works but I do know they are repairable.
If you are willing to check it out, its yours.
I downloaded a manual for the unit. E-mail me your address. Maybe you
can tell me something about the unit after you figure it out.

I have such a high respect for Roy and Wes that it is not possible for me
to think they'd both be wrong while in agreement. And, I like to read your
discussions on this group so much that I'd offer anything I can to assist
your 'getting some measurements made'. I am absolutely sure all you guys
will agree on this stuff after you make some measurements. You are all too
bright to have such severe differences in understanding on this subject.
