Hi Bob,
I don't have issues at 60, 120, or 180Hz in a 60Hz country. Even with a
500KV line a few thousand feet away. I can hear the corona on the ham
bands at times.

Hi
In a country with 50 Hz power lines, figuring out anything at 50, 100
or 150 Hz
is going to be a bit exciting.

Dave,
Look at it with a narrow band SA and see if it's modulated by 100Hz.

Dave Congratulations on 10 Ghz SSB.
This was not a QSO at all. It was simply a one way transmission from
a
signal generator at my end to a receiver at his end. No QSO was
attempted.
Now to your question. I will fully believe you are seeing normal
behavior
of the generators. Even if its dithering 100 Hz thats pretty
amazing. Sweep
gens simply are not stable enough for narrow work like you are
trying.
Now I am sure comments will prove me totally wrong.
But I find it a bit odd that HP would have a 1 Hz software option on
this
instrument, if the instrument jumped up/down 100 Hz.
Now I don't yet have the 1 Hz option programmed in, and it might
well
change the behavior completely, but I'd still like to find a way, if
one
exists, of checking this with the equipment I have.
The signal generator is no longer supported, but I could try my luck
seeing
if there are any known problems with this unit, or firmware upgrades
available - currently revision 29, May 1991.
But I don't think so. (Have been on 10G SSB over the years also.
Only 60
watts plus. Nothing fancy. ;-) )

60 W is clearly some setup. I also know a lot of people run portable
stuff
on 10 GHz, where achieving frequency stability is more of a
challenge,
although less so with GPS. But this is a laboratory instrument, from
a
reputable manufacturer. I personally would not expected this
behavior. I
actually purchased this very cheaply (£650 GBP, which would have
been about
$900 at the time), but they are not cheap to buy now.
