    need some basic circuit assistance - capacitor / transformer stuff

    I am convinced that the word "ground", while used by many, is understood by few. Take a look at this http://www.davidbridgen.com/earth.htm Equal rights for equal responsibilities. Equal opportunities for equal abilities.

    Doesn't make sense to me. How about to you?

    On this page http://www.micromark.com/MICROLUX-MICRO-MILLING-MACHINE,9683.html it is claimed that the machine has "a 150 watt motor that boosts power by 250%". What the hell does THAT mean? Equal rights for equal responsibilities. Equal opportunities for equal abilities.

    Bird 4030 element

    Thank you Comcokid. I did know that. The 4030 is different. It doesn't use the directional properties of the host meter plus plug-in arangement. Yes VE1BLL, I too found that link. Thank you both once again. Equal rights for equal responsibilities. Equal opportunities for equal abilities.

    Bird 4030 element

    Does anyone know if the model 4030 relative field strength element has an internal battery or does it depend solely on the field which it is sniffing? Equal rights for equal responsibilities. Equal opportunities for equal abilities.
