wasnt sure where to put this topic so please move if in wrong section.

does anyone know of some software and hardware interface for use with testing and
setting up radio equpiment ?

basically i would like a box that plugs in to a usb port with a so239 so i can plug the radio into my pc
to measure frequency rf power maybe modulation etc.

also want built scope, volt meter, spec analyzer and sig gen etc.

Nor me, but if you find one, I'll have a copy of the Software and a lead!!

As you've suggested, I think it'd take more than just a Lead to connect the radio to the PC, as I can't see a computer being to happy if someone left the power setting wrong and put 100w (or more) into a USB Port. But, in theory, I can't see why you couldn't have some kind of a small " Black Box" with a SO259 on one side and a USB lead on the other, some "lektrickery wizardry" inside and some software to interpret the RF signal into Frequency, Power, Mod etc, . . . . or even a PC based 'scope and so forth. But I've never heard of such being commercially available.

Little challenge for a CT Member perhaps? Design and build a prototype and appear on Dragons' Den asking for a million in cash to develop it?

i have a dummy load which along with so239 connection it also has a posative and negative connection
so you can measure the volatge with a digital volt meter, so i was hoping of maybe being able
have something similar with the needeed attenuation so it could be hooked up to the usb port.

this is the closest i have found so far Steve
