I did not do it exectally that way but did use a $ 40 hamfest signal
generator to tune a couple of sets. Also to measuer the deviation of
transmitters I had a GLB synsither hooked to a HR 2 Regency and an a DC
scope hooked to the discriminator of a scanner. By going 5khz plus and
minus with the GLB and marking the scope it made a good deviation monitor.
While it does take a lot more time it is not hard to tune a duplexer or any
of the older gear with minimum equipment. People would laugh if they saw
where I took some small wire twisted together for an inch or so and used
that as a capacitor to tune the RF stages of a Twin V to get it to 2 meters.
