The VIC-20 does not put out an RF signal.  It puts out raw video that a
plug-in modulator converts to RF.

The pins of the audio/video connector are numbered 1-4-2-5-3 clockwise
looking at the back of the computer.  Pin 2 is ground and pin 4 is
75-ohm composite video.  This video signal can be connected directly to
any standard monitor.  The level (about 0.5 volts) is lower than normal
but not too low for most monitors.
