- Hi, Can anyone recommend a stable low power signal source suitable for tweaking RX antennas. I only need 160m and will only be used within say 10 wavelengths. Preferably something off the shelf. Than

- Nothing original here, but I use a cheap 1.8432 packaged logic-level oscillator driving all the gates of a 74LS04 in parallel, followed by a switchable 20 dB pad, all packaged up in a small minibox.

- I should add that all of the LS04 outputs are summed through 270 Ohm resistors, giving something close to 50 Ohms output. At any rate, I think I get something like 0 dBm into 50 Ohms, with the switch

- Antenna analyzers such as the AEA or MFJ put out tunable low power CW signals that can be used for this purpose. My AEA VIA Bravo has a "CW source" mode that generates a very stable signal. I've used

- All good ideas thus far. This is a handy device to have for other purposes and would work well for your application as well Clive. http://www.elecraft.com/XG3/xg3.htm Tree N6TR _________________ Topb

- Hello Clive; Check out the IV3PRK website- www.iv3prk.it under "receiving antennas" and then the "rx ant. tests" tab.Luis has a circuit using a 1.843 crystal oscillator. I use the same device wit

- The MFJ 259B is a simple way to provide a 160 meter signal source with a small rubber ducky attached to the PL-259 output. It may not be the most stable signal source but it will be OK for most RX an

- There are hundreds of devices in that range that are complete oscillators. http://www.mouser.com/Passive-Components/Frequency-Control-Timing-Devices/Oscillators/_/N-7jdfi?P=1z0who4Z1z0wmtcZ1z0wntsZ1z
