[Boatanchors] BK Precision 1405?

[Eugene Hertz]

Is anyone familiar with this unit? I was wondering what it can be used for, with regard to aligning or servicing radios.  I saw some references on the internet that it was a 5Mhz sweeper, but looking at the face of it it appears the highest sweep range is 10khz-100khz.

It seems to have a built in scope, so I just wonder...Can anyone give me some input on the usfulness of such an item?  I am just getting started in learning how to align an sp600 and it seems it a sweep generator can be useful in aligning the IF and some other things.  SP600 has 455khz 1st IF and 3.955Mhz 2nd IF, but I dont know if this unit can sweep thru those frequencies. My other interest in some kind of unit like this has to do with just learning about how circuits work for things like filters, etc.

thanks
Eugene
