Bob-- For that frequency range, I like the 3314A - 1 to 20 MHz with sweep, bursts, gate, arb, and an easter egg. Lots of modulation capabilities.
No easy way to synch it to 10MHz, as it runs off an internal crystal clock (2 MHz?). I've thought about bootlegging it to my house (tbolt) standard, but haven't done that yet. My real RF sweeper is a boat anchor, an old 8660C, which was incredibly cheap by the pound when I got it... I paid around $200 for the 3314A on the usual auction site two or three years ago; the current batch listed seem high. bob k6rtm ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Thu, 14 Apr 2011 11:38:58 -0400 From: Bob Bownes <[email protected]> To: Bob Bownes <[email protected]> Subject: [time-nuts] Selecting a used HP sweep/frequency generator Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Thought I would consult the assembled wisdom here. I'm looking for an HP frequency generator with sweep capability in the 1-20Mhz range. I can live with 1-11, and would really love 1-55, but 1-20 seems to be the most common. Other instruments I already own cover 10 and up. The goal here is to have something complementary to the 8640B, the 8620, and the 10m-20G sweeper. The candidates at present are the 3324 and 3325. The questions are: 1) Of the 3324 and 3325, are there any of the A/B/C/etc variants to favour or avoid? 2) Are there any other candidates to consider? This is for home, not work. Cost is, of course, a consideration. I already have 10mhz standard, so being able to lock to that is a plus.
