An HP 3325A is a great signal, function, and sweep generator --- range 1
cycle to 20Mc but rock solid and very low phase noise. Lowest output is 1mv
but an attenuator will get you anywhere you want to go. Has one onboard
marker. Very easy to use and stable. Something to think about at about
$300 to $400.
Another thought --- the HP 11710B down converter will work with any sweeper
or signal generator and get you nearly down to audio --- about $75 to $100.
I used an HP 8640B signal generator with the with a ramp/function generator
into the FM input as a sweeper for years but the sweep range is limited to
approximately 1% of the carrier frequency --- 500 cycles at 50kc and 2.5kc
at 450kc --- generally too narrow.
