Everything old is new again! Been working a lot with repairing a lot of GRC-106 receiver exciters and noticed that my Motorola Communications Service Monitor produces a lot of phase noise and poor-quality AM on the HF bands. Decided that what I need is something like an old school URM-25 or maybe if I can find one a URM-144/SG-823 being I already have a SG-376 that I got last year that I have been using a lot for SSB work.
As always not looking to spend a bunch of money on this but can always do a trade. Lot of crazy prices for URM-25 generators on eBay but use to seeing them at Hamfest for $20 to $50 price range. Did not realize until recently that you more often than not need vintage test equipment for working on vintage radios.
It's amazing what happens when you take modern items like the new generation of digital scopes today and look at things like modulation levels for AM carriers! Or operate DVM in high RF environments.
