[Elecraft] Signal generator question

[Robert Tellefsen]

Hello J-F
I would not recommend this generator, as it
really isn't intended for your expected use.

It is a function generator, meaning it produces
sine waves, square waves, triangular waves,
and so on, but it only goes up to 3 MHz.

You want a regular rf signal generator, which
will usually produce a signal from below the
AM broadcast band to over 30 MHz.  Some will
even go up into VHF frequencies.

Good luck in your search for a generator.

Hi,

I would like to learn and explore more «signal tracing» procedure and
technique. I actually have a Fluke 196C. But I don't have a signal
generator.

A friend of mine have his signal generator for sale. The model is an
Instek GFG-8216A. I would like to know if the device will be good for
signal tracing or the specification of this device is not enough for
this purpose??? I know that I could build the one in the K2 building
manual or at least use the technique «Cheap'n Dirty» from N0SS... but
that's not my point.... ;-)

The specification can be viewed at
http://www.instek.com/pdf/Generator/GFG-8216A8215A.pdf

Thanks for all your advice.

Best 73
