I just acquired an HP 8640B and now I'd like to get rid of my HP 606A but I need to go below 500 KHz. I wonder if anyone has had any experience with the HP 11710A or B that they'd care to comment on. I'd also like to know if there's any other reasonably priced LF sig gen that's stable and has a calibrated output that I should consider as $150.00 for an HP 11710 seems kind of high when you can find HP 8640Bs for around $200. tnx hank wd5jfr

You should be able to find a copy of the HP 650 series generator on Ebay or at a local surplus store or hamfest. They cover 10 Hz to 10 Mhz, and a calibrated attenuator. Good instrument.

Or a TS-382 military test set. ;-)
I say, the boy is so stupid that he tried to make a back up copy of his
hard drive on the Xerox machine!
