Advance E2 Signal lead

[Ian Paul]

Hi,
I just purchased one of these signal generators and all frequency outputs seem really accurate after all these years! I just need to make up a signal lead. Can anyone suggest something that will suffice for most alignment jobs?

I knocked up a dummy aerial for mine as per the circuit in the manual, which is just the same as the one for my later Advance B4A - the E2 is now on ebay - but this is slightly overkill - a 300pf and 390ohm in series, as Aerodyne Tony suggests in his excellent book is as good as anything. You need a coil to couple to ferrite rods.
E2s are excellent - I checked the calibration on mine last week, and it is virtually spot-on.
