You could post in the WANTED ADs section here on the Phorum and see if anyone has an RF generator that they want to sell.

There are used RF signal generators with audio modulation that can be found on eBay. A quick look and $80 and up seems to be the pricing. Of course they may need some refurbishing when you get them but I've gotten a couple that way. Here's just one example: https://www.ebay.com/itm/187063788422?_s...R7KV08S_ZQ

Another good way to find something would be to find a radio swap meet near you. That could be either vintage radio or even a HAM swap meet. I see a couple of HAM groups in Louisiana. http://www.arrl.org/clubs/search/page:2/...odel:Group
Cheers,
Bob
