How do I measure signal strength from a radio receiver?
I build a little FM-radio transmitter that can transmit a tone generated by a 555 timer circuit. I can receive it by my clock radio. I want to build a receiver with a directional antenna. Then I want to measure signal strength to be able to optimize the direction of the directional antenna.
If possible the signal strength should be measurable by an ADC pin on a PICAXE.
