Default RF probe for millivolts?


" DOH! In fact I do have access to one via a friend. Why didn't I think
of that in the first place? Too much wine and egg nog over Christmas I
guess. But also, thanks to v\everyone for all their comments - all
very useful and if the scope doesn't work for me I will try some of
the other ideas out. Cheers...

don't forget the scope is going to give you a very high reading,
since the display is peak-to-peak. You'll have to take the
reading from the waveform's 0 voltage cross-over
poiint to the peak of on one side of the full
waveform, and multiply by .707 to get the RMS value.
