I've had ample time to familiarize myself with the Haig RF detector probe. It does a nice job detecting modulation/waveforms from an RF signal and is amply sensitive at low IF levels. My only complaint is that it does indeed have a tendency to skew the oscilloscope display with my hand capacity. Perhaps I did make a mistake by using a metal box even though its metal was isolated from the detector circuit. Now I am toying with the idea of removing the probe tip, replacing it with a BNC connector and using a shielded normal 10X oscilloscope probe. The detector could then lay at rest on the bench without hand capacity in proximity to it. I am also considering building a second Haig but, this time, installing it in a plastic box instead of a metal box.
