man, i guess you can't cut and paste word table cells into this forum reply window without losing the formatting! sorry about that. i did break it up with some carriage returns but the description doesn't do it justice.
i can't seem to find find the ac line tester which is an entirely different animal. but like i said, injecting a tone on the line doesn't work very well because of the coupling between the adjacent wires issue (i'm an rf guy so i recognize that immediately and this one is tough toget around). i prefer the tried-and-true Ohmmeter or power supply-and-Voltmeter method because you get a lot better isolation when you actually draw current down the wire.
hope i haven't led you astray, my friend.
but i really hope you get your space shuttle! i've seriously wanted one of those after seeing 'em and even knowing a guy who works(ed) on 'em. although i'm not sure what i'd know what to do with it myself without a way to launch it! (i would have used the scratching head smiley here but i couldn't find it.)
anyway, enjoy mcm- they're a great electronics resource! (like i tell my w1fe, "at least i'm good for Something!")
(guess we may have lost all the others on this topic zeroing in on this. we could always pm. do that if you care and i'll give you my cell so we don't have to fod the forum so badly.) (thanks, Harry.)
