Sorry Dennis, you are right.
I didn't read close enough.
For some reason, I assumed he was talking about a microwave
leakage tester.
I picked up an old radar gun at a hamfest, that I have played
with a few times.
also, I have found a few microwave units, used for door
openers in stores, at some hamfests. they called them gun
plexers.
I dont know what the frequency might be though.
