[Test-Equipment] El-cheapo sweep generators?

[hwhall at compuserve.com]

The Wavetek 171 seems to be only a function generator, not a real sweep generator. Unless I missed something...

How about a Wavtek 171 0-2 Meg.
It has three waveforms, triangle, sine,.
and square. If  interested I can send
pictures and more info.

Hello test equipment experts, babe-in-the-woods, here. I'm seeing Chinese
sweep generators on Ebay for under $100 that go from 0 to 2 mHz. I'm looking
for a way to align the I.F. transformers in a ham-band receiver at 85 kHz. I
would like to be able to see the passband on a scope as I make the
adjustments. Would I have a prayer of doing it with one of these?



Thanks a bunch,
