       Here at the hospital we have a lot of VHF and UHF "walkman" sized EKG
transmitters that patients walk around with.  As a quick performance check
for these units, I would like to add a circuit to a decent scanner such as
the Regency MX5000 to use it as a tunable relative field strength meter.
Such a tunable device would also come in handy tracking down sources of
problem RF as we sometimes have.  Any suggestions as to where in the scanner
to tap a signal and what kind of simple circuit I can use would be
appreciated.  I was thinking of using an analog meter movement as a visual
indicator.  All I am interested in is relative carrier signal strength.  Any
help is greatly appreciated.
