[Test-Equipment] Sweep Generator info

[parkjv1 at comcast.net]

All,

I'm looking for some recommendations for a sweep generator.

I'm not particular about brand names but; I don't want a lemon either.

I have test equipment from HP, Heathkit, Knight, etc.

I'm acquiring a National NCX-3 Transceiver and it calls for a sweep generator capable of sweeping at approx. 1 cycle per second over a frequency range from approx. 5 to 5.5mc.

I don't know that much about them and would like some input on what would be a moderate unit to acquire.  I don't want something that is oder than the radio itself, ~ 1963.

I have no idea on the price range but I can't afford the cadillac of all test equipment.

I would want something that is very reliable, easy to work on if needed and has a manual that can be obtained.

Tks,

John
