Hello J-F I would not recommend this generator, as it really isn't intended for your expected use.
It is a function generator, meaning it produces sine waves, square waves, triangular waves, and so on, but it only goes up to 3 MHz. You want a regular rf signal generator, which will usually produce a signal from below the AM broadcast band to over 30 MHz. Some will even go up into VHF frequencies. Good luck in your search for a generator. 73, Bob N6WG -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Jean-François Ménard Sent: Thursday, October 26, 2006 6:32 PM To: Elecraft Mailing List Subject: [Elecraft] Signal generator question Hi, I would like to learn and explore more «signal tracing» procedure and technique. I actually have a Fluke 196C. But I don't have a signal generator. A friend of mine have his signal generator for sale. The model is an Instek GFG-8216A. I would like to know if the device will be good for signal tracing or the specification of this device is not enough for this purpose??? I know that I could build the one in the K2 building manual or at least use the technique «Cheap'n Dirty» from N0SS... but that's not my point.... ;-) The specification can be viewed at http://www.instek.com/pdf/Generator/GFG-8216A8215A.pdf Thanks for all your advice.
