I like how you explain the different building blocks on the schematic and how they do their specific task. I have basic understanding of electronics but thanks to you, it all makes more sense.
Just keep in mind the loading that a 1x scope probe will place on your circuit: - When the probe is connected to a 1Mohm scope input, the 1x probe will add approx 100pF capacitive loading. - When the probe is connected to a 50ohm input (like a SA input), the probe basically looks like 50 ohm load (with a little extra loss) You'll need to assess whether your circuit can tolerate the loading, and that the loading won't throw off the tuning.
you will enjoy my next video. I knew people would comment on my scope probe use. I guess you fell in my trap. anyway I shot tomorrows video weeks ago so it is not pointed at you.
Great explanation. You should reduce input to 0.06uV and a carrier (CW) can still be detectable. Receive is razor sharp. Maybe too sharp but it will pull that DX out of the noise. 73 - Rick - Midway Electronics.
I'm still not comfortable with dBm. I am more comfortable with dB being a dimensionless logarithmic ratio. You have me looking at those Spectrum Analyzers on ebay, but I still want a NanoVNA first.

@@IMSAIGuy Yep, you 'hooked" me... Proper probing is a pet-peeve of mine...
very cool, thank you for explaining it to us. Regards from Germany
Don’t ya love how those Whirlpool dryers know CW

baby steps. start with dBc then once you are comfortable with that, imagine your carrier is always 1mW.
Maybe my video on dBm, dBc, etc. will help: ruclips.net/video/1mulRI-EZ80/видео.html
The "how too" is beginning to focus for me. More probing with the SA, please.??
