Depends on how clean the signal generator is. I'd think it doesn't have enough smoke (output capability) to really be beneficial Many generators have a strong carrier (here we go again) adjacent from the desired carrier by few, several, many kHz/MHz. Also, depending on make/model, it may not be as clean (spurious emissions) as a tuned circuit (read MICOR exciter). I wonder how many of the -53 naysayers have or have used a Cushman CE-3? LOL! The folks that have looked at the output of one of these on a spectrum analyzer will get it. K
