Sometime in the 90's, one of my hobby ideas was to make an amplifier so sensitive that it would detect the faint radiated EMI from electronic equipment. It used low noise transistors and active filtering to form a 300Hz high pass high gain amplifier. I recall seeing on the scope the EMI from my LCD watch 2" away from the pick up coil.
I couldn't think of an application then and still can't now. Would such a crude gizmo have any application today? Guesses: Electronic device detector? Bug sweeper. Data cable is alive detector? EMI meter for the EMI paranoid? Audiophool interference source detector? D from BC
