Re: Which Tektronix Signal generator?

To get up to 1GHz, you cannot go wrong with a HP8640B for your application.? Of course, it's not on the light side, but does fit pretty nicely on a modest work bench. ? Rich ?

Subject: [TekScopes] Which Tektronix Signal generator?? ? I am trying to narrow down my choice of a signal generator for my shack.
I would be glad to have your opinion on which Sig Gen to buy
I need something that covers from 0.01 MHz to 1000 MHz or preferably up to 3000 MHz. If the sig gen goes up to 1000MHZ a second set to cover 1 to 3 Gig would have to be purchased later. At the moment I have several oscillators to cover the 1 to 3 Gig range. Carrier noise better than -80DBc at 10 kHz would be okay. Nothing too fancy but sweep capability, AM and FM is needed.
I do not want to buy a very heavy post world war device although I admire them and have a few RT sets from olden times. I have to have it courier shipped to Pakistan and THAT costs.
Prefer Tek or HP, and something for which I can get the service manual which is a must have.
I will be using it to play around with building transmitters and receivers for my ham gear.
