I now can get some signals off of it but I am at .5 micro seconds on the sweep time/ div this is pin 11 on the ic I replaced

Hi, Thanks for your reply, I have adjusted just about everything on this scope when it comes to getting a waveform from the radio and all I get is a blotch of green, I have messed with the sweep time / div and volts div with no success, I did get the probes calibrated I believe. Here are photos...

Hi Nomad thanks for the reply, I think you were correct about the age of the scope though and I do not think it is operating properly. I did take the cover off today and cleaned the volts/ div as well as I could and it did help, I went to calibrate the probe and you can barely see the vertical...

Yeah, I am new to using a scope and I need to work with it a bit and do some research in them, I will try your adjustments and also look into how to calibrate the probes because no I did not calibrate them yet. Thank you for the advice I appreciate it, this is a new ordeal for me

Where as the other 74160 ic outputs give somthing that looks more like this

I do see another thing, the 74160 ic on the far right there just gives this on the outputs

Like I have said I really don't know what I am doing with the scope yet for sure, but Nomad helped quite a bit here, I turned down sweep time/ div to 2 and put the probe on pin 2 on that ic I had replaced and the line rises but I really don't think it really shows a waveform I don't know. The...

Ok, thank you I will try these settings later today and yeah I have a x10 probe with a switch

I believe it does have a trigger but it looks like it is going off the chart, not sure what I am doing here, any idea on adjusting it LOL ?

Got probes ordered as I don't have any, I have no idea what I am doing with this thing but here goes nothing! Looks like a good unit I would think it should work well for radios

Yeah, good eye, I knew about that it was just getting late last night actually it is the socket pin not seated down all the way but is still making good contact however I am going to fix that tonight, thank you !

Well, I replaced the one IC chip but ended up with the same results, I did have my doubts it was actually bad anyways. Boy, that job is kinda a task too, was a little tougher than I thought it would be due to the double sided trace board, solder on both bottom and top. I did install a socket...

This is what I need to do as I have a like brand new B&K scope in the box that a friend hooked me up with, and I have never used a scope before, but its about time ! I also have a coax tap for it that I have never used also

I have noticed the signal in on pin 2 stays at 1.976 v and does not change with the channel selector

Yes, think I will be doing this the way you and tram d recommend, I ordered the sockets. I am not positive it is the chip that is bad but there is no change on the outputs of this chip compared to the other one, it did not do the same thing
