[Elecraft] Noise gen

[Stephen W. Kercel]

I was wondering if anyone on the reflector had tried building the 
"Calibrated Noise Source" described starting on Page 25.27 of the 2005 ARRL 
Handbook. If so, has anyone tried aligning a K2 with it?

The Handbook noise source looks like it would be more expensive and harder 
to build than the Elecraft Ngen. Presumably the flat spectrum and precise 
calibration of the Handbook generator make it better for doing noise figure 
measurements.

Does anyone have some thoughts on the tradeoffs between the two generators?
