It doesn't meet all your specs, but what about a Keithley 2015? They can
be had for about $500 on Ebay...


Look on the bay for a Heath IG-58 (several variations). They are very
low distortion for the price. (Typically 0.04 to 0.02 % THD, depending
on level and frequency). You can get a guaranteed one for $125 or less.
Or wait for a bargain and grab one for $50. The Elenco with the big
pointer is around 1%. Your smartphone can be used, too. I have not
measured the distortion of such apps.
