But the scope is a digital one. Even when i measure a voltage that goes from 0V to 5V it takes approx. 3 seconds to adjust the screen. What one will see is this: 0V ----------------------------- ('bout 1 sec later:) 5V . . 0V ----- ------------- ------------ again, 1 sec later: 5V -- --- --- 0V -- --- ---- ---- and, finaly after about 3 seconds: 5V ----------- I think this has to do with how the A/D converter works within the scope... If i measure a point were i *suspect* to be 433 MHz all i see is something like 3/4 Vcc, wich could be the avarage voltage? I want to say that i mustn't have to measure these 'ready to go'-modules! I mean, they have to work, don't they? The only thing i could find on the website of RF Solutions was a ****3**** page datasheet. And after asking some application information, they reffered to book! That application information had to be in the datasheet in my humble opinion... (frustrated, you guessed it right :) Did anyone get these modules to work? I'm interested in how they did it. Jilles
