[R-390] signal generators

[Cecil Acuff]

I had a URM-25 after having used many different signal generators 
professionally and found it clunky to operate and a bit confusing.  Those 
that were raised on them will probably disagree but that's OK....it's a 
personal thing.  I gave it to my brother and bought an HP-606A.  It's big 
and heavy but it's rock solid and very straight forward to operate.  It was 
shipped to the east coast from the west coast by UPS and was dead on when it 
got here....

I have no experience with the Boonton 103B.  I have used a Boonton VHF/UHF 
generator before when doing commercial 2-way work and it worked OK.  There 
is a 103D on auction right now for less than $100.  I'm still like the HP 
stuff and a good 606 can be bought for no more than $100 most of the time.

I have seen a few comments about the urm-25 vs the HP 606A, and we all know 
that the HP 8640B is far superior to these. What is the general feeling 
about the Boonton 103B? In today's world of cheaper surplus test equipment, 
is it of any value to own a urm-25?-Brad
