I've been wanting to build a good signal generater for my workshop to cover the
range (approximately) 1MHz-500MHz and would like to find info on synthesizers
that I could either build from scratch or buy a preassembled board. If
possible, would like to keep the total cost of the project below $500. I'm not
too worried about building a precision attenuator and AGC circuit to regulate
the output over the frequency band, but need help on the syokt{
synthesizer part of the project.  Right now I have an ancient HP608D and can't
afford a fancy new HP generator!
