[Elecraft] XG3

[Dan Presley]

I have a question about the XG3 signal generator. I’m setting it up for some troubleshooting and tracing on my K2 (issues with 160 module installation) and I have a TEK 453 scope that I barely understand how to set up properly. I got the unit from the TEK museum here in Portland,OR and it was completely refurbished and calibrated by the guys there. The issue is that when I connect the XG3 to the scope (just for observation and practice before I connect it to the K2) it seems to be just outputting a straight line like a DC voltage. Shouldn’t it be showing a waveform either square or sine? I tried connecting  it to an older scope just to check and same results. What am I missing? I’ve played with the scope controls by it’s quite likely I’m missing something obvious!
