Hi & thanks for reading.
    I bought one of these at the Leicester rally a few years ago. It is 19"
rack sized & generates signal from 100Hz-999.9999MHz with 8 lever operated
thumb wheels. Made in the USA by the Throrn EMI owned Co. in 1983?

It uses sevearal PLL oscillators & mixers, all locked to an internal/external
reference. It has a calibrated AM & FM modulation (digital readout) display
from built in locked 400Hz & 1KHz sine wave sources ass well as expernal mod.

Unfortunatly it was not all working (eg no 144MHz) when I got it, but I have
now managed to repair all the faulty bits I think, without a diagram! Which was
very time consuming, working out how it all worked. 

I have done several mods now. eg FM deviation increased to 100KHz, & a "poor
mans Ceasium ref" (simular to BATC/Radcom) where I have phase locked the 1MHz 
master crystal oscillator to BBC terrestial TV line syncs to give better than
1 in 10^8 accuacy.

I would appreciate any infomation on the unit.
