Home made coax tester

[exDeputy Dawg]

Does anyone have a schematic for a simple coax tester. I have one using a 9volt battery, But it has no values for the diodes. It also uses two LED'S. I would like to build a tester, if anyone can help,

I would appericate it. Thanks

Go to www.dtbradio.com/circ.html and check the list. There is a simple tester there that you can build. The protoype I built when I designed that circuit 12 years ago is still kicking. Only replaced the battery once in 12 years.

A simp;e test for coax.

Radio at one end and a meter and dummy load at the other, you can check it for power loss, noise due to movement and for continuity.
Note use an old radio that you don't care much about.
