Hi Steve,

The TF2008 seems to be a good RF generator with a quite wide frequency range from 10k to 512MHz. It providers AM,FM modulation, and also sweeping but with a limited frequency variation.
I have a HP8654B that it as also a good RF generator, but lower end limited at 10MHz.
For attenuator I recommend external rotary 10dB per step attenuator or switch attenuator 1,2,4,8,16,32. We cand find it used for a good price, or new Chinese model but I dont know quality. Yes a separate DC block is highly recommended.
How much for the TF2008?
Thanks

Jean-Louis
