The Elecraft XG-1 or XG-2 mini modules are inexpensive and perfect for alignment and checking sensitivity. XG-1 is 40 meters only and the XG-2 is 80, 40, and 20 meters. The output is selectable between 50 microvolts and 1 microvolt. The output level is stable and very accurate. (and no computer required!)

It seems that one really needs a stable steady
signal, both in frequency and level to do this job.

Short of homebrewing a crystal calibrator (since
these seem to be few are far between these days,
even on ebay), what do people use for a good steady
signal source for this job.  Off the air signals
seem to have enough QSB to be a problem and without
a second rig to use for a source, I was curious
what other people used...
