Hi Robert thanks for taking the time to do all of this work and share the results. I can't help but think that maybe folks will forget that we can make and mend things for ourselves. All the best . . . Andy
Bob, a nice review and kudos for taking time to build and test these units. It’s great to see all of them have useable designs. Just curious, would it be possible to test them using an AM receiver in the Audio/RF sections to see how the sensitivity stacks up and if it loads the receiver down? Thanks again for your hard work building and evaluating these designs. Best, Don
Good video Bob,,,, btw,, on the first tester where you mentioned the noise switch, perhaps he was trying to replicate the noise function found on the Heathkit T3 signal tester where one of the switches when set to noise, you could put a component such as a resistor on your probe and if it was bad, loose, or " noisy," it would make a loud racket and you would know it was faulty. Just a guess but would be interesting to see if it worked as well as the Heathkit did.

Hi Bob, great review of the various signal tracers. Thank you for building them and taking the time to review them. Regards, Dave
Super video Bob. Thanks for all the testing!

Yes, I think that's feasible. Let me put that on my list of things to do this week!
Thank you!

I think that is what he was going for Carl, but 9 volts just doesn't put the kind of stress on a component that the 160 volts from a Heathkit could. 😋
great comparison Bob!
Thanks George!
Thanks for the comparison Bob. What value potentiometer did you use for the Aussie tracer?
I just used a 10k PC mount pot and it seems to work fine.
Great analysis.. THANX
Good video Bob
Thanks Bill!
