I couldn't email this directly...forgive me.

Warren,

How did you determine that the HP608 you are using does not leak?
Are you saying that no coax connected to the output AND with the
output set at max attenuation (minimum output) that a nearby receiver
like, say, a VHF scanner, doesn't pick up any signal when tuned to
the same frequency as the generator?  I hope the answer is yes since
I can't use this beast if it leaks more than is useful for testing
VHF receiver sensitivty.  A good non-leaking generator for this purpose
will have no detectable leakage by a nearby receiver tuned to the
same freq.

Thanks in advance,
Charlie Thompson
