[Test-Equipment] Sweep Generators

[Carl]

When somebody puts price first then its time to look at Heathkit, Eico and 
similar.

Just dont expect them to have the accuracy and stability necessary to do a 
communications receiver of better quality than the test equipment.

I was thinking of that. I have three and like them a lot, but they are
more of an engineering generator than a service persons generator.

A service generator usually has crystal markers at 10.7 MHz and other
useful places. The 8601A does not.

FWIW,.
