color RGB (Red, Green, Blue) game monitors. This unit
will also test the early 8/W monitors with composite
video inputs. This unit does not have an RF output and
cannot be used on the antenna inputs of a standard TV

vided for Motorola B/W monitors. This pattern gen-

monitors by building the appropriate cable assembly.
