Suggestions for a good digital signal/function generator?
#39

I REALLY cheated!  I scavenged an antenna from an old AA5 radio, the kind wound on the back of the radio, put a .05 capacitor in series with the center conductor of a length of RG-58, and soldered the ground side of the cable to the other end of the wire on the antenna.  The other end of the coax, which is about 15 feet long, has a BNC connector on it.  I can hook it up to the generator, and set it next to the console I'm working on.  Too much signal, move the antenna away.  It's got the right impedance match for the generator and it works without pulling the OSC of the radio, or overdriving the IF stages when you touch them up for the last time.  Works VERY nicely to get the IF trap tuned in.  It saves on trying to figure out how to couple the generator without blowing it up.

I'd try replacing the bulb first and if that doesn't do it, then change the 35Z5 and see if the problem goes away.NostalgiaRadioTime — 12:28 AM
