Hi,
I am a newbie to this site and to electronics in general. I need to monitor usage of UHF bands (400-800MHz). For this, I am planning to do the following:
1. Buy an omni-directional discone antenna
2. Hook it up with a frequency pre-selector box
3. Hook the output of pre-selector with lab style oscillloscope.
I want to monitor channels with bandwidth 6Mhz. Can you please check if my method is correct or not. Also, can someone please suggest me a frequency pre-selector box which will suit my requirements (6 Mhz monitoring in 400-800 Mhz range). I can hope to spend up to $1000 (as this is a funded project).
Also, can you please tell me if the off-shelf laboratory CRO would satisfy the requirement or not?
Thanks everybody.
George
