[Premium-Rx] RA6790GM.....gone deaf

[Ed Tanton]

Take a look at the Elecraft website Paul. They sell a couple of VERY 
NIFTY little xtal-controlled signal generators: 1) the XG-1 monoband 
at 7.040 MHz; and 2) the XG-2  triple band [80-40-20M]) both with 
specifically 50 uV and 1 uV outputs within +/-2dB and typically 
+/-1dB for VERY reasonable $$$ ($40 and $60 respectively.)

I consider them INVALUABLE for exactly your situation, to wit: is 
something going on with my rcvr(s); my splitter; or my cables??? A 
quick BNC - whatever connection, tune to 40M and you'll *** KNOW *** 
if 1 uV is there or not. And you can so easily compare rcvrs and so 
on. Yes, my 8640B would do the same thing, but it sure is a lot 
heavier, etc. etc. This is fast and more than reasonably accurate.

Obviously I love 'em. For the person with multi-rcvr installations, 
there's nothing faster except WWV-and that doesn't let you rule out 
the splitter/coupler and cables.
