Got me a RF signal generator for a hundred bucks. Good Price? No instructions. Connected it to the antenae of a working set at AM frequencies like 850kHz, moved the dial towards that frequency and the speaker howls. There is also a bandwidth for occilator frequencies like 455kHz. Could this be used to find faulty occilator circuits by injecting 455 into the section as a substitute? I thought that this instrument could troubleshoot each section of a radio but not quite sure how to go about it. Thanks for any info. Pat

What you have is a source of radio frequencies. You can think of it as an oscillator that has variable frequency, amplitude, and modulation. It is very useful for both troubleshooting RF circuits and alignment purposes. If accurate frequencies are of interest however, you will need a frequency counter to monitor the output of your generator. Most old radios do not require this degree of accuracy and you should be fine. This model does also have an available fixed audio signal that can be used for troubleshooting/signal tracing purposes.
