Morning all, #
Saw this thread over night so nipped out to the "Dog House" (my workshop) and looked through the draws and found enough to make one up. Trialed it on a couple of sets, but still prefer my set up, being lazy. I have a home built wide band RF amp, enough to cover LW, MW, and most common SW on vintage sets, this is fed from the signal genny. This amp is terminated into a loop which is actually arround the window frame above the bench. A signal taken before the attenuator on the sig gen is taken direct to a digital frequency meter. I check once in while the frequencies against known frequency broadcast signals (in spite of the frequency meter having built in crystal calibration), I like the belt and braces feeling.
Being a meany, I also aquired a very small FM transmitter with digital frequency setting, the range is only a few feet, but it a very handy for aligning FM IF's and RF.
All the best.
