HP 8640B and VLF?

[Henry Kolesnik]

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

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.

Never take a laxative and a sleeping pill at the same time!!
