OK..My (new to me) scope came with probes, but to be "cool guy" with the right test leads I'm finding I have to make some stuff. I'm making :
2 ea. BNC to alligator clips (dual trace scope)
1 ea. BNC to banana jacks (in case I want to reference a sine wave while testing)
1 ea. BNC to 1/4" phone (to connect the amps output to the scope)
Plus:
1 ea. banana jacks to alligator clips (to inject signal at any point in an amp)
1 ea. banana jacks to 1/4" phone (to connect my signal gen. to an amp input)
It seems to me making these will save me $$$ on adaptors and other crap and avoid having long cables all over the place.
Some Qs... Should I make the BNC leads 10X or should I have 1X and 10X of each? And/or, does anyone know of a good way to put a switch on a homemade test lead?
And, What else am I likely to find useful?
Also, I'm planning on using regular RG58 cable for these, pros/ cons?
Any input appreciated.
Thanks
Chuck
