Re: AM/FM Signal Generators With Sweep (Wobbulator) Function
I have a TF2008 which I find is a bit vague in its sweep mode and like other complicated (=heavy) bits of kit might need more time spending on its maintenance than time in actual use. An excellent signal generator with its very clever waveband switching (but this feature makes it inordinately complex!).
I thought, as you only live once, and I'm already a septuagenerian, kick wobbulators into touch and buy something half decent so I bought a DSA815TG. It really does help with keeping old test gear going. |

Re: AM/FM Signal Generators With Sweep (Wobbulator) Function
I have a Heathkit IG-57A Post-Marker/Sweep Generator.
It does Sweeps for aligning 10,7MHz FM-IF's besides aligning NTSC-standard TV-IF's. They come cheap and plentifull on eBay. Rgds, /Torben |

Re: AM/FM Signal Generators With Sweep (Wobbulator) Function
Hi!
There's not much call for them now the Americans have got rid of analogue TV, but if you've got a an accurate counter, you can probably re–align the tuned circuits for 10.7 MNz, 33.5MHz, 34.65MHz, 38.15 MHz, 39.5MHz, 41.5MHz and 45 MHz and then you've got something for vintage TV realignment! I bought one myself but it disappeared from the lockups where a lot of my gear went six years ago! Chris Williams

Re: AM/FM Signal Generators With Sweep (Wobbulator) Function
I've been doing some more research and have added some more generators to the list.
