I bought an HP 608D Signal Generator made by Hewlett Packard at a
hamfest last weekend.  It has a calibrated output down to .1 microvolts.
Such low levels are useful for testing receiver sensitivities etc.
I had heard rumors that the generator *leaks* and that it will radiate
levels in excess of .1 uv making it somewhat less useful at low output
levels. I have two questions:

  1) Does anybody out there have a manual for this beast that they
     would be willing to xerox for me.

  2) Does anybody have any experience with this known-to-be-popular
     signal generator.  Any suggestions on how to fix the radiation
     *leakage* problem with some sort of modification.

Thanks in advance,
