Using a Signal Generator
#5

I usually use a coil of about 25 turns of any kind of wire on aTP cardboard and wire it with a .05 cap in series with the signal generator. Good enough coupling for most purposes, but if you want to work backwards from the second IF, etc.. follow alignment instructions. Beware you can be nipped slightly or fatally when working with an old signal generator and old hot chassis radio if you are not careful. Please use an isolation transformer. You can also get an inexpensive new or surplus frequency counter to see where you are from the Eico. Mine is off by a lot, but at least I know how much and in which direction.
