MORE radio test equipment!

Just today picked up a Boonton 102-F AM-FM RF Generator for $149.

I was thinking it was Chinese import but apparently Boonton (in Boonton, NJ by the way!) has been around since at least the 40's and the guy tells me that when this thing hit the market in the mid-seventies or so.... it had a price tag of at least $12.9K.

450 Khz -520 Mhz, AM-FM modulation, built in frequency counter (which can be fed externally!), built in stepped attenuator ( -130 db to (I think) +15 db). Four crystal ovens AND a PLL based lock feature that locks it on the frequency you set.

I'm in lust!

Looks good . . . does it work?

Because of a heavy work schedule, I have not been able to run it through it's paces....but... the first thing that we did is establish that we are both licensed hams...which pleased HIM no end!! He was happy that he had found an appropriate home. According to him.... it is not only working....but was calibrated by a calibration lab 6-8 years ago. That may not be current by some standards....but it is good enough for me....for now.

I'll get her rung out and let you know.

Right now.....I'm gassed!!!!!!!!!!!!
