SG Frequency Change With Modulation
#1

Hi all, I have the typical service grade Heathkit signal generator from the 50s, it was my dad's. I have done the typical electronics restoration on it years ago. I usually use AVC voltage as my indicator for peaking things during alignment of a radio. I noticed if I peak things without modulation and then turn on the modulation I need to readjust things just a tad to reach maximum response again. It's as if the signal generator's RF frequency changes some with modulation. I have a frequency counter that I use but when I turn on the modulation the counter goes crazy and I can't read the true frequency. Anyone ever notice this happening? I guess one of these new digital generators might be better but they look to be beyond this old brain's comprehension level to understand. I'm still stuck in an analog world!
