RF probe?

[Stephen Tetorka]

Thank you, Mark:

My Heath Cantenna has an output jack to which I attached my VTVM to read the
DC voltage.

I did not use an RF probe in this case.

This voltage comes through a diode and dropping resistor...so I gather it is
only a  relative voltage reference and can not be used to calcuate the wattage
into the dummy...esp since diode are non-linear.

In order to estimate or calculate the wattage into the dummy I would need the
RF probe voltage measurement directly across the dummy resistor...is this
correct?

Now...how do I select an RF probe for my VTVM?

Tnx,
Steve
