ACCURACY
Any signal generator is designed as a convenient andcontrollable source of modulated or unmod-
ulated
signals. No signal generator is designed as a frequency
standard.
Expensive standard
signal generators have fairly accurate (3 to 20%) attenuators
which control the output voltage
- and the calibration accuracy
is rarely closer than 1%.
The Heathkit Signal Generator may be
expected to fall within 2 to 3% of the frequency calibration,
which is quite satisfactory for ser-
vice work and alignment.
In receiver adjustment, the frequency at which the particular adjust-
ment is made is rarely
critical but the adjustment
itself for maximum
signal output from the
