Doing the engineering work on a multi-site, simulcast paging system necessitates keeping a check on the operational status of several transmitters which are — by design — geographically spread out all over the place. Anything which can automate some of the process of testing (and, ideally, provide remote, real-time monitoring) is a huge help. Not […]

Demo of Custom Built Arduino-Based RF Power and SWR Monitor
This video is a demonstration showing the RF Power and VSWR Monitor & Alarm System I recently designed and built. The front panel and chassis used to be a Glenayre Power Monitor panel, but after being completely gutted, retrofitted, painted, etc., it is now a custom Arduino-based build. I finished creating and putting the front […]
Testing v2.3 of Arduino-based RF Power & SWR Monitor – LCD Added
These two short videos show the testing of the v2_3 code running on the Arduino-based power and SWR monitoring system I’m developing and building for a client’s Quintron and Glenayre paging systems (but the system can be added to virtually ANY RF transmitter — it’s just a matter of having the correct bidirectional RF power […]
