[NLRS] 10368 transverter

[BRISCH at qwest.net]

Good day everyone, on a fact finding mission.
I have been studying the schematic for the DEM transverter.
A rumor has it that the transverter can be converted into
a signal generator.  Has anyone here done it? 
The folks at DEM are out again so I can't ask them
until they get back.
The way I see it is to change the LO so it does not have an offset
and use it as a signal source.  No IF rig involved,
directly coupling the LO output through the final circuits
to provide a signal. Sounds good in theory but what are the
gotchas?  Would like to get everyone's thoughts on this.
