Do It Yourself AF Meter For CB and Ham Radio Alignment ( AF VM ) CIGAR BOX METER
CB Radio Service manuals call for a way to monitor audio output during alignment, most I have seen call for a "AF VTM" An AF VTM, AF Wattmeter is hard to find nowadays and costs $bucks so I decided to make a Relative AF Meter. You can do this measurement with the radios own S-Meter, o-Scope, analog Volt Meter etc, but I want a specialized instrument that can be set right next to the radio and give me a better visual as to what is going on. You can use a DVM however while turning you have to deal with latency as to how the digits change, a analog meter gives you a smoother reading. IMHO
DON"T USE YOUR EARS:)
Plus this is a fun project that can be done in little time.
I used parts on hand, but if you don't have them all I put some Amazon links for you to look at. Also when you use any of my Amazon links it helps out this channel. (And my drinking habit:) J.K.....?

    SGC QUIT MAKING radios shortly after the owner died however one of the employees purchased the company and focused on the manufacture of antenna couplers for the military. Have you tried their web site? I would hope that they might still have information as to the technicals of their radios.

      That is pollution stuck in the valley. Its called an inversion. When a storm system comes through it will clear out the valley. Back in the 60s-70s it would get WAY worse that it gets now. And back then we had 1/2 the population.

    Great video on this! I bought 3 of these kits for a road trip with my buddies. They were a hit! We used them again for a little off road excursion at a park. I’m putting together a more permanent setup for my truck. Should I keep this or would you recommend the cobra 19 better. I do like the features of this one better though.

    • @390WagonMaster
      @390WagonMaster 6 днів тому

      I agree, not a fan of the Cobra having only the Channel Up/Dn on the mic. The Retevis is a good rig overall. Retevis radios are popular in Europe and seem to be rugged. Mine stays parked on a channel 24/7 and has been holding up just fine.

    • @390WagonMaster
      @390WagonMaster 7 днів тому

      50 if I'm not mistaken, I think that standard for meters used with a shunt. I could be wrong. You would not want to blow $50 for one like this anyway. A simple VU meter from a stereo, tape deck works just fine.

    • @williamcolvin3609
      @williamcolvin3609 7 днів тому

      @@390WagonMaster I was just curious most of the meters specify AC or DC use and usually are marked 50mv or 75mv on the Meter Face. I usually shop E-Bay that way you can spot the good sellers and products from their Feedback Ratings and the Product Reviews. Lots of people New to Electronics do not realize that a Shunt usually has to be purchased with the meter otherwise it will not be accurate and probably burn up their meter. Most of the meters and shunts that I see are 75 millivolt sometimes I will see a 50 millivolt but not often.

    I know this is an old post but you are so Right! My father was an old school Amateur radio operator from early 50s passed away now but I’ve inherited some of his gear some of which was his home built Dummy Load that he always used when testing I just tested it after this video and was 50.1 ohms I thought wow he Really knew how to build stuff. I wish he was still around as he was a wealth of information.
