I'm learning my way around the 492 and don't yet have manuals for it.
(I'd rather get print manuals than a CD copy...got a set for sale?)
I'd like to be able to use the 492 as a receiver for AM and FM
transmissions, to be able to hear them.
My 492 has options 1,2, and 3, so the only IF option I have to work
with is the 10 MHz IF output.
I need to know what are the output specs for the IF output, so I can
determine how much gain I'm going to need. I plan to preamplify the
IF output, feed it through a detector/demodulator, and then need to
add more gain to bring it up to a level suitable for further processing,
including audio band filtering and level adjustment.
I would PRESUME that the correct mode to run in will be zero span,
is this right?
Not having actually used an analyzer in this application before,
I'd appreciate it if anyone could give me a how-to guide on the setup
and configuration of the analyzer and outboard equipment. If I'm
wrong about how to do it, I'd rather know before I get started.
