[Elecraft] Signal / RF generator

[Phil & Debbie Salas]

"SO figure I would query the group to see what everyone else is using.  IF 
your using a signal / RF generator,  what brand, model and options are you 
using ???"

I've been using antenna analyzers as signal generators.  The output levels 
are normally AGC controlled and are pretty accurate.  I started with a 
MFJ-259B which worked OK, but it does drift around a bit so you need to 
externally pwer it and let it settle down a bit.  Now my Array Solutions 
AIM4170C gives me a great signal generator good for 5khz-170 MHz (plus, of 
course, a great antenna analyzer).  I use a MFJ-762 step attenuator with a 
home-brew fixed attenuator to give me all the range I need.  An article on 
some of this is in the "Measurements" section of my website at www.ad5x.com.
