Default Your experience witg function generators

"** Time wasters are not courteous, they are asses. "

OK, when the time machine is out of the shop, I will go back into your
past and when you ask a question I will shame you so bad that you will
never find your dick. People who call other people stupid when they
seek knowledge are more stupid. You CAN have more knowledge and be
stupider. Is there a test or something required to ask a question
here ? Did you form this group ? Do you own it ?

When YOU inhibit the education of others, what the **** are YOU ?

Now the topic, yes I agree with the general consensus here, this
generator was never intended to be a frequency standard. With the
specs the OP gave I wouldn't even want to have to use it to align an
AM IF strip, and I mean before ceramic filters when you could sort of
pick the IF frequency. Forget FM.

If the need is repetetive, like you ae maintaining a bunch of
communications equiopment for one company or whatever which all uses
the same band and modulation, there are several options. If there are
multiple units available more accuracy can be obtained by comparison.
A beat frequency is hard to miss no matter what the modulation
scheme.

Also if you have a frequency modulation input it shouldn't be too hard
to adapt or build an FM detector of some sort and make a feedback loop
to stabilise it. Of course then the problem becomes making your
detector more stable than the generator in the first place.

All said, I think you simply need to pick up a suitable generator and
delegate this one to audio or something, who knows. Who knows what you
might find on craigslist or ebay.
