[Test-Equipment] Sweep Generators

[Mike Sloane]

I just did a search, and the cheapest one I found was $284.

I have two 8601A's, one that appears to work and another that powers up 
but doesn't work. I always intended to use the working unit, but have 
never gotten a round tuit. Is there a big problem with using it without 
the 8600A? The price of the 8600A is ten times what I paid for the two 
8601A's!
