Tom,

Well, I used the HP 3336B which was far better than I expected for this
purpose.  Its a sweeping synthesizer that goes up to 20.9 MHz or so.  There
are 3 on the "E" for under 200.  I have a couple of 8601A's but haven't
tried them.  I like being able to program  the start and stop frequencies.
Only problem with the 3336B is that the output does not go below about -72
dBm which is too high if you're driving the font end of the receiver.
Additional attenuation is required but that is not too big a deal.

Procedure is here : http://www.r-390a.net/ST-32-152.pdf  although I just
winged it for now.  I'll have to try this prcedure sometime as it was where
I got the idea.
