[Central-Electronics] CE-100V Power

[Ron Kolarik]

Gordon the 8640B can be swept, limited range but may be what you need.
You have to feed a signal in to the FM input, I can't find my notes on what
exactly I did when I tried it but if you read the thread here
http://antiqueradios.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=130054
it may give you some ideas. About halfway down if you want to skip the rest
but it's all good information.
