Review Summary For : PreciseRF 2-Tone Generator
	Reviews: 1	MSRP: 239.50
	Description: The TTG1 delivers standard 2-tone 700Hz and 1900 Hz audio signals for testing radio transmitters and RF amplifiers, and adjusting modulation settings. The TTG1 operates on a 9V battery (included). The line level out (150mV – 3V) may be connected directly to the microphone connector of most transceivers. The 700/1900Hz TTG1 frequencies result in 3rd order products of 3100 Hz and 5th order products of 4300 Hz. Transmitter linearity may be determined by examining the 2-tone modulated transceiver RF output on an oscilloscope, station monitor or spectrum analyzer. The TTG1 comes fully assembled in a blue-baked enamel premium shielded die cast aluminum alloy housing. The complete specifications are as follow: Two tone frequencies: 700Hz 1900Hz Wave shape: Sine wave THD distortion: Less than 1% IM Distortion: -30db or less Output level (line): Adjustable 150 mV – 3V P-P Output impedance (line): 47K Output Level (speaker): Adjustable 100mW – 2 Watt Output impedance (speaker): 8ohms Amplitude balance range: +/- 20dB Frequency adjustment range: +/- 50Hz 700Hz +/- 75Hz 1900Hz Frequency stability: Drift less than 1% after 30 minutes warm up Power requirements: 10mA 9 volt DC Duracell MN1604 6LR61 or equivalent Physical: 1 lbs 4 x 3 x 1.2 in Application: Transceiver and Amplifier IMD and distortion testing

Nice Instrument			Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
If you want to make 2-tone tests, this unit is one to consider. Very well built and easy to use. I did find the output level too hot to apply directly to the microphone input of my transceiver, so I built an external attenuator that also provided PTT (see the Product Modifications section of my website at www.ad5x.com).
