Duh! A USB SDR dongle with an up converter! The thought never entered my mind. What great way to go. I was thinking more strictly hardware (with my limited mindset). The funny thing is, I have one of those dongles and really never pushed it close to what it's capable off. I'll have to give it a try.

Try one of the emergency radios with AM-FM-SSB.
Or, a $20. RTL-SDR USB dongle on your computer with a Ham-it-Up
HF converter between it and your HP 20mHz output.
All-mode 0.5 - 900+ mHz plus a bunch of other useful features
for under $100.
Thank you for your response. I would prefer both AM, FM and SSB but
economic compromises may have to be made. FM at a minimum.
As to the frequency, I was assuming that I would be able to use the
20-something megahertz IF connector on the back of the spectrum analyzer.
That's why I was thinking about a shortwave receiver; I know I've heard of
other people doing this.

What frequency range are you looking for?
I usewd a DEI R-1037F telemetry receiver on the 227 MHz IF output of an
AIL 757 SA.
Do you need AM / FM / other?
