Ron,

Tnx for input.  Sounds interesting.  Yes, I have the book, and I'll check 
it out when I know how much power I really need.

Hi, Chas!

Do you have a copy of "Solid State Design for the Radio Amateur"? That's
the old classic by W7ZOI and W1FB. In they describe a "signal generator"
that W7ZOI built for evaluating receivers. It's a simple crystal
oscillator with a low level 50 ohm output that is very well shielded. It
was intended to measuring the signal floor, so leakage was a major
concern. You probably don't need THAT much shielding but knowing that
all the r-f you are evaluating is being radiated from the antenna and
not the source helps.

It's in milliwatt range.  Uses one transistor.
